School Street Add.
Walkable with great nature access
Median $315K·Walkability 8.4/10·Schools 4.1/10
The moment you turn onto School Street, you're in the thick of Eastown—restaurants and coffee shops practically at your doorstep, transit stops within steps, and the kind of lot sizes (averaging 0.06 acres) that make neighbors feel genuinely close. Homes here run around $315K on postage-stamp lots that trade square footage for walkability: a 10/10 for dining, 10/10 for transit, and Wilcox Park just a three-minute walk away with its splash pad and playground. Downtown Grand Rapids sits six and a half minutes away by car, and you're surrounded by nearly 300 restaurants within a mile and two dozen grocery stores within two miles. William C. Abney Academy serves the area. What makes School Street Add. feel like itself, though, is density done right—a tight one-acre grid where your errands are walkable, your entertainment options borderline overwhelming, and the urban rhythm of Eastown means you're never far from coffee, dinner, or a transit connection headed somewhere else.
