A small, but growing city just outside of Grand Rapids
Walker's custom housing developments and small-town residential streets begin just outside the Grand Rapids city limits. The small city continues to grow as new developments continue to pop up. But new development isn't the only draw. "There is good community spirit in the city of Walker. The city commission hosts concerts in the park in the summer. It's a family-friendly community," says Jeff Blahnik, a Realtor with Five Star Real Estate. He's been selling in the area for 44 years. Additional community activities, like Walker's ever-growing soccer program, work to gather the community as well. Walker is also home to Millennium Park, one of the largest urban parks in the nation.
The south end of Walker near Grandville has larger and newer homes with large lots.

The average home price in Walker is $352,193
Homebuyers can choose between suburban and rural living settings. In Standale, a suburban community in the heart of the Walker Central district, homebuyers can find split-level and ranch-style homes on spacious, manicured plots. South Walker offers a more rural setting, with large custom contemporary dwellings and small ranch-style and Cape Cod homes spread out along country roads. There are also many planned communities like Cambridge Grove and Winchester Woods. The average home price in Walker is just over $350,000, making the market competitive. "The housing prices in Walker are strong, and they have been rising consistently since we came off the bottom of the crash," Blahnik says. Homebuyers can find Craftsman homes and custom contemporary dwellings on larger manicured lots here. One- to four-bedroom 20th-century homes sell for between $140,000 and $370,000. Custom homes and large estates begin around $370,000 and can sell for over $1.2 million.
