    "I Used Visit Over There ,& Live Over There ,Long Long Time Ago Very Nice Neighborhood if Its Still the Same "
  • Trulia User
    "I usually was too busy to attend but there are a lot of community events. East town fair is my favorite "
  • Trulia User
    "I absolutely love living in East Hills/Eastown! Itโ€™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!"
  • Trulia User
    "The people here are really cool and it has an amazing restaurant and bar scene. Old home with lots of character and a lot of younger people "
  • Dianahunter1957.dh
    "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. ๐Ÿค—"

    "There is a popular dog park within walking distance of the Farmer's Market. Very dog friendly area for walking. "
  • Am H.
    "I have a five minute drive to work and the only downside is the construction and zero off street parking that makes it take longer than 5 minutes"
  • Robert M.
    "Degenerates from Southeast GR and a few rough neighborhoods in this area, still not bad for the most part.. Never had any real issues and I run around at all hours."
  • kseNIA
    "Neighbors are friendly and helpful. The streets are walkable and it is easy to get downtown for concerts and events. Art Prize covers many venues in this area. Busses run up and down Fulton and Lake Dr. It is generally quiet and peaceful."
  • Linzdavis12
    "Iโ€™ve lived in this neighborhood for 6 years. Neighbors are friendly and the location is great for walking to bars/restaurants and shops."
  • Mary C.
    "Dog owners have endless beautiful city streets to walk their furry buddies on. East Hills is a pet friendly neighborhood. Walking your dog is a great way to meet neighbors."
  • Maria S.
    "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. "
  • Mary C.
    "My neighbors are friendly and walk around the neighborhood. You donโ€™t just wave at them as they drive by. There is a real interesting mix of people with different backgrounds and interests. I learn a lot from their experiences."
  • doinkers104
    "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!"
  • Paula
    "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."
