River Hills Sub No 2
Walkable and connected
Walkability 7.0/10·Schools 5.2/10
You might expect River Hills Sub No 2 to feel isolated, but the numbers tell a different story—grocery stores and restaurants are within a five-minute walk, and a transit stop sits just three minutes away on foot. The subdivision leans suburban in character, yet scores highest for fitness access and transit connectivity, meaning you can get around without a car if you choose to. Van Bragt Park is practically a neighbor, and ten parks sit within a mile, though the area's outdoor recreation appeal is more about proximity than dramatic natural features. Downtown Grand Rapids is 38 minutes away by car, with Grand Haven's beach a quicker 32 minutes south.
