Shawnee Park has quiet living near Breton Village
Shawnee Park is located on the southeast side of Grand Rapids, where homes are tucked away from the city bustle, and prices are a little lower. The neighborhood has relatively affordable homes compared to nearby Ridgemoor or East Grand Rapids, but you still get the same tree-lined streets and vintage homes of those coveted areas. Families are often drawn here for the walkability to local schools, including the highly rated Grand Rapids Christian High School. Although the area feels quiet, you are also located between the shopping at Breton Village and 28th Street, and Downtown Grand Rapids is about 15 minutes away.
Suburban homes and condos priced lower than nearby areas
Shawnee Park has an almost suburban feel, with winding streets and a mix of homes from the 1950s and 1960s. “People love being in and around old homes that have a lot of character,” says Melissa Perrine, a Realtor with Bellabay Realty who has sold homes all across the greater Grand Rapids area. “In that area, you will find beautifully developed tree-lined streets.” While ranch-style homes are the most common, there are some two-story properties. “A lot are very substantial in size,” Perrine says. “You may find yourself with a larger home similar in style to East Grand Rapids, but for a fraction of the price.”
The median home price here is around $315,000. Smaller, outdated properties can start in the mid-$200,000s, and larger, updated houses can reach the lower $800,000s. There are also several condo communities with units from the upper $100,000s to the upper $200,000s. “The condos are the closest you will get to East Grand Rapids under $300,000,” Perrine says.

Residents live close to a wide mix of schools and programs
There are more than seven different schools within a mile of the neighborhood — one of the biggest draws for families. “It’s a great place to raise a family,” says Brad Mockabee, principal of the local Grand Rapids Christian High School and Shawnee Park resident. “You see kids walking or biking to school all the time.” Local options include:
Ottawa Hills High School: Part of Grand Rapids Public Schools, this high school finished a major renovation in 2020.
Grand Rapids Christian High School: Known for its standout academics, athletics and internship opportunities, this private school ranks among the top 10 Christian high schools in the state.
Grand Rapids Christian Middle School: The precursor to the popular high school, this private middle school has similarly strong academics and arts programs.
Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School: Right next to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, this kindergarten through eighth-grade school has a curriculum deeply rooted in religion.
If you’re not interested in faith-based education or Grand Rapids Public Schools, you may also apply out of district through Michigan’s statewide Schools of Choice program.

Central to the city’s big-brand shopping options
According to Perrine, access to shopping options is one of the largest draws to Shawnee Park. The nearby Breton Village has a bunch of upscale shopping options like West Elm, Lululemon and Anthropologie. And the south side of the neighborhood is 28th Street — a large commercial corridor in Grand Rapids known for its endless retail options and frequent traffic jams. You can shop at Woodland Mall, see a movie, grab takeout or eat at a nice restaurant. And you're minutes from grocery stores along this street, including Meijer, Aldi and Trader Joe’s.

Ottawa Hills Park has playground equipment for Grand Rapids kids to enjoy.
Local parks make the neighborhood feel family friendly
When class lets out for the day, kids have a couple of options for places to hang out:
Ottawa Hills Park, right outside Ottawa Hills High School, has basketball courts and was renovated in 2018 to add a fully accessible playground.
The Eagles Ice Area, home of the Grand Rapids Christian Eagles, is open for lessons and leagues for all ages.
Shawnee Park Christian Reformed Church maintains the lawn games at the small Shawnee Community Park and has an indoor space with video game consoles and ping pong tables.
MacKay-Jaycees Park is a hub for youth sports, including baseball, soccer, tennis and volleyball, located about a mile away.
Fifteen-minute commute to downtown
Downtown Grand Rapids is about 5 miles away, and it typically takes 15 minutes to drive there. You can hop on U.S. Route 131 to get into the city quickly, although avoiding the highway during rush hour is often a smart move. “Route 131 can get backed up with traffic, depending on the time of day,” Perrine says. Taking Division Avenue north into the city is usually a little less congested.
