East Grand Rapids – America’s Hometown

East Grand Rapids Michigan – America’s hometown

East Grand Rapids is home town for quite a few famous people and

lots of not-so-famous people. Gerald R Ford, our 38th President and

our 40th Vice President grew up in Grand Rapids. He lived in East Grand

Rapids where he served as a Michigan Congressman for 25 years.

The movie “American Pie” was written by Adam  Herz, who grew up in

East Grand Rapids and based the movie on his teen years.

But East Grand Rapids Michigan is more than a famous hometown,

it is a quintessential American hometown. The population is about 11,000

people, and it  has fewer than 4000 housing units.  East Grand Rapids has

4 seasons, so you can enjoy all seasonal sports and outdoor events.

You can walk or bike to almost anywhere in East in a short time, it has

about  3 square miles of total area.  You can frolic in Collins Park or enjoy

water sports  on Reeds Lake year round.   If you jet ski, sail, wind surf,

fish, walk or just like to gaze at the water, Reeds Lake is a  prominent

part of the local community activities.

East GR has great neighborhoods, some include stately mansions,

others  are average homes, tree lined streets,  above average city

services, award winning public schools, a vibrant downtown shopping

district-Gaslight Village, and all within 10 minutes of downtown Grand

Rapids cultural events.

Take our photo tour of East GR and get acquainted with it’s charm.
