Steketee Home Sites
Solid value in a growing area
Median $280K·Walkability 5.6/10·Schools 4.0/10
Steketee Home Sites sits just eight minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which means you're never far from the city's pulse but close enough to the Eastern-Burton neighborhood to have real roots. This five-acre subdivision breaks into quarter-acre lots where homes cluster tight — the kind of density that makes walking to restaurants feel natural (there are thirty-six within a mile). Homes run around $220K, and you're steps from transit when you need it. A dozen parks dot the area within walking distance, including Cheseboro Park seven minutes on foot, and if you've got a boat, Butterworth Park Launch is less than three miles away. Kids here attend River City Scholars Charter Academy, and the nearest grocery is about a fifteen-minute walk, though there are forty-two grocery stores within two miles if you're driving instead.

Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
