    "I absolutely love living in East Hills/Eastown! It’s beautiful and there is so much to do. Everything is easy and accessible via bike or walk. The only downside is no convenient grocery store that I like, but everything else is great!"

    "I've lived in my home since 1989. Raised my children and yes still love living here. All kinds of people live here! All generations, cultures, and lifestyles. It really not new. It's always been that way. That's why Eastown, easthills, heritage hill, to Fulton heights has a sign that says "Center of the universe" in the center at Lake Dr. Cherry st and Diamond ave. Yup west of the Paddock mansion. The one with trees he collected along the same latitude as G.R.. all over the world. A100 years ago. That's not the only building on the national historic register. I like that the younger ones are wanting to live and invest in cozy, solid, extremely well built home. Plus you don't have to have your dinner dishes cleaned up after dinner for company. You just close the door. 🤗"

    "East hills is a very nice area. The shops and restaurants around make t a very popular place for events and parties as well as visitors from the suburbs. The streets are safe and walkable. The houses are very beautiful and old. Far enough from downtown to feel calm, close enough to feel vibrant. "

    "This area offers the best of all that Grand rapids has to offer. Its close enough to downtown to walk and also close to east town and East Grand Rapids. Only downfall is the public school system. Nice restaurants and newly renovated parks! I have lived (rented 6 years ) in the area for about 8 years and bought a house with my husband last year. Love it!"

    "We bought our home as an investment allowing our college age children to live here while attending school. The neighborhood has been especially welcoming. There is a Facebook page just for our street and area which shares anything we might want to be aware of, or simply friendly neighbor invites. Upscale restaurants and shops around the corner and easy access to downtown and schools. Homes being renovated and people who look out for one another gets our votes."
