On the northwest side of the Grand Rapids metro, west of the Grand River and inside the City of Walker, this is the central, near-in part of town — which is really all the name means. You'll find it listed on Public School Review and Nextdoor (the latter under an overlapping "Walker Central"), but there's no platted subdivision or documented founding story behind the label; it's a recognized area name for the ground roughly between Leonard Street NW and 3 Mile Road NW. Homes here carry both Walker and Grand Rapids mailing addresses, which is normal for this corner of the city. Within the footprint sit named subdivisions like Cambridge Grove, Meadow Springs, Pheasant Hills, Indian Mill Creek, and the Village Woods condominium community.
