Eastown centers on the Wealthy Street and Lake Drive business district, a walkable commercial node surrounded by early-1900s homes. Its position between Aquinas College and Calvin University makes it heavily rental, and a lot of those houses have carried student tenants for decades. We buy Eastown houses and small rentals as-is for cash — tenants in place, deferred maintenance and all.
