Situated fewer than two miles east of Downtown Grand Rapids, the Eastown neighborhood blends residential areas with energetic commercial districts for a lively community. Commuters can drive down Lake Drive or take one of two buses, which bring locals to the downtown area in 15 minutes.
Wealthy Street and Lake Drive feature Eastown's main business district, with condos and homes for rent lining the nearby streets. Walk down to Wealthy Theatre for a retro film shown in a restored early 20th-century cinema. If you enjoy live plays, head over to Circle Theatre to catch one of its five annual main stage productions. Wilcox Park to the north provides a welcome green space in this charming neighborhood.
