Paddock Sub.
Walkable near top schools
Median $302K·Walkability 8.0/10·Schools 4.0/10
Paddock Sub. sits in the heart of East Hills, where brick-lined streets and the red-paved Cherry Street corridor put you steps from restaurants, coffee shops, and transit that actually works—a rarity in West Michigan. At just two acres with compact lots around a tenth of an acre each, this is dense urban living dressed up in historic bones; you're genuinely walking distance to 331 restaurants and 30 grocers across the neighborhood, with Grand Rapids Public Schools serving the area. Downtown is a four-minute drive, and the walkability scores bear it out (dining hits a perfect 10). Homes here median around $302K, and the real kicker is what's literally adjacent: Hosken Park, one of 19 parks within a mile—so you get the street-level energy of a real urban neighborhood without sacrificing green space.
