Southwicks Sub.

It's basically a 7-acre pocket within East Hills, seven blocks east of downtown Grand Rapids—close enough that you're there in under four minutes by car, but the subdivision itself is quiet, gridded streets with modest lots averaging just over 6,500 square feet. Homes run around $455K, and Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. What makes Southwicks tick is the location: you're steps from restaurants—the neighborhood has nearly 500 within a mile—and a transit stop, a three-minute walk to coffee, a six-minute walk to groceries. Cherry Park is practically at your doorstep. The dining score here is ridiculous (9.6/10), which tracks with Cherry Street's reputation as the gastronomic spine of East Hills just outside your door. It's walkable for meals and transit, less so for errands, but that's the tradeoff when you're this close to downtown density.
