Woodland Mall and neighborhoods on 28th Street
Close to Gerald R. Ford International Airport and home to the religious college, Calvin University, East Paris is mostly a Kentwood city suburb, though some of the East Beltline area falls within the Grand Rapids city limits. Many Grand Rapids residents travel this way to access the Woodland Mall and other strips of shops and restaurants east of the city. “You’re close to everything, you’ve got all the shopping and restaurants right there, you’re not far from the airport, and not far from downtown, so you can get all you need right there,” says Scott Glisson, a Realtor with Goldwell Banker. “There’s not a ton of traffic either, with the exception of right by Woodland Mall, but not a ton on the freeways which take you wherever you need to go.” Folks that live here take advantage of large traditional suburban homes in slightly quieter subdivisions, though traffic noise can be a low hum throughout the day. Students here study within a few different districts, such as the Grand Rapids, Forest Hills and Kentwood public school systems.

Woodland Mall and 28th Street restaurants
There are dozens of shopping and dining options along the 28th Street corridor. Folks come from all around Grand Rapids to go to Woodland Mall, a particularly popular spot for weekend shopping, its two-story Barnes & Noble and the Phoenix movie theater. The Woodland Mall is also set to open its Main Event entertainment venue very soon, which will include a bowling alley, arcade, laser tag and billiards. “This will be a great place that people will be able to go at nighttime and hangout, eat, bowl, you know? Especially since the mall started closing earlier,” Glisson says. Though the area is known for its many familiar chains, locally owned restaurants like Beer City Bread Co have Grand Rapids brews and tasty meals. For grocery trips, the local Sam's Club and Trader Joe's are right down the street, and the nearest Meijer is just across I-96 on 28th Street.
The Woodland Mall provides a shoppers paradise for East Paris locals and visitors alike.
East Paris has a huge variety of chain restaurants lining 28th St.
