Phillips Add.
Solid value in a growing area
Median $323K·Walkability 4.8/10·Schools 4.4/10
Phillips Addition sits on five acres of Shawmut Hills with tight lot sizes—just under a quarter-acre each—that keep the subdivision compact and walkable, which matters when you're looking at homes in the $323K range. You're about six and a half minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, close enough that the city doesn't feel far but far enough that you get actual neighborhood quiet; the real draw is what's nearby without the drive—Valley Field park is a four-minute walk, and there are eight parks within a mile, plus ninety-six restaurants scattered around if you need variety. Grand Rapids Public Schools handles the district. A grocery store lands just a mile out, and a coffee shop is a reasonable thirteen-minute walk, so the bones are there for getting around on foot without pretending this is some urban core. The subdivision's surrounded by the tree-lined, rolling streets Shawmut Hills is known for, giving you that suburban-within-the-city feel without feeling stranded.
