Van Leeuwen Fulton St. Add.
Walkable with great nature access
Median $336K·Walkability 8.4/10·Schools 4.2/10
Walk out your door onto Fulton Street and you're already in the thick of it—coffee shops and restaurants within steps, a farmers market just five minutes away on foot, and the kind of density where you can actually run errands without a car. Van Leeuwen Fulton St. Add. sits in the heart of Eastown, a walkable 70-block mixed-use neighborhood where local character runs deep: Yesterdog's been slinging hot dogs since 1976, Wolfgang's serves breakfast out of a converted trolley barn, and over 130 businesses crowd the streets around you. This 3-acre subdivision sits on modest lots—averaging 0.18 acres—and homes here run around $336K, putting you five minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and twenty from the airport. The neighborhood scores 9.3/10 for dining access and 10/10 for transit, which means you're walking to grocery stores, dog parks within eight minutes, and can hit 295 restaurants within a mile. William C. Abney Academy serves the area, and Wilcox Park with its splash pad and courts is close by.
