Walcrath No.1

The lots here—a quarter-acre each on five platted acres—feel tight compared to the sprawling ranch homes that define Shawnee Park, but the trade-off is proximity: downtown Grand Rapids sits 13 minutes away, and the Gerald R. Ford airport is just over 17 minutes if you need it. Schools within walking distance include options through Grand Rapids Public Schools, and forty-two restaurants cluster within a mile, making errands something you can handle on foot rather than a drive. Median homes here run around $411K, reflecting the density and convenience that set this subdivision apart from the quieter, larger-lot neighborhoods surrounding it. Ottawa Hills High School Athletic Fields are a six-minute walk away, and there's a transit stop five minutes on foot—useful anchors in a part of Shawnee Park where the suburban feel stays close to the city's pulse.
