Blakeslee Creek Condominiums
Strong schools draw families here
Median $427K·Walkability 2.0/10·Schools 7.3/10
You're walking into a place where the land breathes a little—nine acres of condo living in Rockford that doesn't feel cramped or corporate, with homes ranging from around 1,290 to 2,560 square feet, most of them move-in ready and priced in the low-to-mid $400s. The units here—built between 2002 and 2012—come with the practical stuff: updated kitchens, en-suite primaries, attached garages, first-floor laundry. What makes it work is the location: you're about 20 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, but you've also got Cahill Park a short walk away, and the Fred Meijer White Pine Trail State Park not far if you want to bike or stretch your legs without the noise of the city pressing in. A grocery store sits just over a mile down the road, and sixty restaurants within a mile means you're not eating the same thing twice for months.

Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
