Withey East Belt Plat
Walkable and connected
Walkability 7.3/10·Schools 4.0/10
Head east on Lake Eastbrook Boulevard and you'll find yourself in a four-acre pocket of Lake Eastbrook where the infrastructure feels fresh—the roads here got a full rebuild not long ago, new water mains and street lighting included. It's a modest residential plat that punches above its weight on convenience: the nearest transit stop is a two-minute walk, downtown Grand Rapids is about fifteen minutes away, and Gerald R. Ford Airport sits just over eleven minutes out. Coffee shops are three minutes on foot, groceries even closer, and if you're hungry right now, restaurants are literally steps away—over 340 within a mile. Camelot Park lands about a twelve-minute walk off, with two more parks nearby for when you want some green space. The Ridge Park Charter Academy school district serves the area, and homes here run in the mid-to-high range for the region.
