This quiet 6-acre pocket in Kent County offers a peaceful residential setting with easy access to the vibrant Eastown district. The area features traditional-style homes on generous lots averaging 0.13 acres, with half of the properties including fireplaces and all homes equipped with central air. Residents enjoy proximity to popular destinations like Hall Street Bakery and the evolving Boston Square area, while Oakdale Gardens and seven other parks provide outdoor recreation within a mile.

The neighborhood serves families through Grand Rapids Public Schools, with some excellent nearby options available. While walkability is limited, the location compensates with convenient grocery access - eight stores within two miles - and close proximity to Fisk Lake for water activities. This area works well for buyers seeking traditional homes with larger lots, families who value outdoor space and parks, and those wanting a quieter setting while staying connected to Grand Rapids' east side amenities.
