East Grand Rapids Michigan is America's hometown, at least 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 and lived in East Grand Rapids when he served 25 years as a Michigan Congressman.  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 ...

The city of East Grand Rapids is one of Grand Rapids, Mi most interesting suburbs.  It was originally settled by the Reed family in the 1830's and was subsequently incorporated as a city in the 1920's. Quintessentially West Michigan... Approximately a third of the land area of the city is embodied in two large lakes; Reeds Lake and Fisk Lake.  These waterways and the parks have made the thriving metropolis a wonderful place to live and recreate. Well known for its award winning school system, the East Grand Rapids high school has won over 100 State Championships in a variety of sporting events.  In 2006, a beautiful new community center and library were finished to the tune of 9.4 Million dollars. Gaslight Village is the downtown section of East Grand Rapids.  It's quaint specialty shop...
