The East Building Condominium
Walkable with great nature access
Walkability 8.3/10·Schools 4.1/10
The East Building Condominium sits in Eastown, where you can walk out your door and land at a restaurant or coffee shop without thinking twice—and that's not hyperbole, they're literally steps away. Downtown Grand Rapids is seven and a half minutes by car, which means you're close enough to benefit from the city without feeling like you live in it; the Gerald R. Ford airport sits about twenty minutes south if you need it. You're on an acre in a walkable neighborhood with 283 restaurants within a mile and twelve parks scattered nearby, including Sigsbee Park just a six-minute walk from your door, and transit access right outside—the kind of setup where you realize halfway through winter that you haven't needed your car in days. Homes here run in the mid-$200s, which buys you proximity to everything from legendary late-night spots to actual grocery stores and a school district that serves the whole area.
