Balsam Hill Condominium

Life here unfolds on a cul-de-sac that feels removed from the city sprawl, even though downtown Grand Rapids is about 13 minutes away. These are stand-alone homes—not the attached condos you'd find in denser neighborhoods—each one custom-built and positioned on its own plot within a gated community that edges toward European-village quiet. The homes run around $1.1M median, with substantial square footage and open-concept layouts that reflect when most were built, around the early 2000s. It's the kind of place where you're surrounded by trees and neighbors at a distance, yet restaurants and grocers are close enough—a restaurant under a mile off, a dozen within walking distance, groceries not much farther—that you're never truly isolated from daily conveniences. Forest Hills Public Schools serves the area, and nearby Forest Hills Park sits about a mile and a quarter away if you want something green that isn't your own backyard.
