Ottawa Hills
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $850K·Walkability 4.5/10·Schools 8.8/10
What surprises people about Ottawa Hills is that you're nine minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and surrounded by 211 restaurants within a mile, yet the subdivision itself feels like you've landed in a 82-acre pocket of space. Homes run around $825K, and you get the density of urban access without the noise—transit is steps away, a grocery is an 11-minute walk, coffee shops are close enough to become a habit. Cambridge Park is a short walk for anyone who needs grass and trees more than sidewalks.
