W. S. Gleasons Sub.

The main thing you notice right away is how tree-lined everything is — mature oaks and maples that make the whole block feel established, even though the lots themselves are modest, averaging about a fifth of an acre. W. S. Gleasons Sub. is a small platted subdivision within Shawmut Hills, one of Grand Rapids's older residential pockets on the northwest side, and homes here run around $263K. You're within a 9-minute drive of downtown, which matters if you work there, and there's real walkability baked in — the grocery store is a 14-minute walk, coffee shops are under a mile away, and there are 78 restaurants within a mile if you don't feel like cooking. The nearest transit stop is just three minutes on foot. A few parks cluster nearby, including Brian Dyk Nature Preserve about 11 minutes walk away. If you have a dog, the dog park is 15 minutes. The neighborhood reads as compact, suburban, and genuinely convenient — the kind of place where you can actually get places without defaulting to the car every time.
