Sunset Park

What catches people off guard about Sunset Park is how much of the city you can reach on foot—or how little you actually need to. Ranches with aluminum siding line streets that feed straight into restaurants (literally steps away) and a transit stop equally close, then branch out toward Jackson Park, a four-minute walk for anyone with kids or a dog. The median home runs around $249K, the lots average 0.14 acres, and within a mile you're looking at 54 restaurants and five parks; push to two miles and there are 30 grocery stores to choose from. It's part of the Whalen Eardley Ranch Sites Area, sits under Wyoming Public Schools, and downtown Grand Rapids is nine and a half minutes away if you ever feel like leaving—though between the grocery stores a twelve-minute walk out and the coffee shops not much farther, the reason to isn't immediately obvious.
