The Sanford Lyon Plat sits on six acres of tightly platted lots (averaging about 5,600 square feet), so homes cluster close enough that you can walk to one of 277 restaurants within a mile, grab groceries in eleven minutes, or cut through Wilcox Park on your way anywhere. The median home price hovers around $516K. You're in the East Grand Rapids Public Schools district, nested within the larger Mary M. Bonnells Sub. Area, where the combination of walkable errands and abundant dining actually works—no car-dependent sprawl, just a compact grid with real bones.
