Shaws Plat of Walker
Room to spread out, great value
Median $370K·Walkability 3.5/10·Schools 4.2/10
Shaws Plat sits on 34 acres in the Deerfield Area, where lots average just over half an acre—enough room to breathe without losing the sense of being part of something developed. Homes run around $413K, and you're a short drive from downtown Grand Rapids and Gerald R. Ford airport. The nearest restaurant is about a mile away, a grocery store two miles out, and a coffee shop at 1.8 miles, which means you're trading sidewalk convenience for actual land. Walker City Central Park is a 13-minute walk if you want the kind of open space that justifies the distance to everything else. Enrollment goes to Kenowa Hills Public Schools, and if you need to be somewhere fast, a transit stop is steps from home—the one amenity that actually keeps the place tethered to the region.
