Stevenson & Long'S Addition

If you're looking at West Michigan, Stevenson & Long's Addition is the kind of place where you can walk to dinner—really, a few hundred feet in any direction puts you near one of nearly 290 restaurants within a mile. It's a tight 2-acre subdivision anchored in Eastown, the walkable heart of Grand Rapids, where a grocery store, coffee shop, and transit stop are all steps away. Homes here run around $345K on tight lots (about 0.10 acres each), and you're minutes from Wilcox Park—a 5-minute walk with a splash pad and playground—plus 13 more parks within a mile. Downtown is just under 6 minutes by car, and the airport is 20. What makes it work is the density: you're surrounded by actual stuff—Yesterdog, Wolfgang's, independent shops, bars with real history—not waiting to drive somewhere. The transit score here maxes out at 10, so a car feels optional even when you have one.
