Cannon Place Condominiums

What surprises most people about Cannon Place is how much low-maintenance living costs this little—homes run from around $72,500 to $235,000, with HOA fees averaging just $46 a month. You're looking at 1,000 to 1,100-plus square feet in a 5-acre condo community about 15 minutes north of Grand Rapids, where the HOA handles snow removal, trash, lawn care, water, sewer, and hazard insurance. That means no Saturday morning debates about the gutters. The layouts lean modern: open-concept kitchens, spacious living areas, attached garages, and energy-efficient appliances. Many units come with private patios or decks, and some of the end units have custom features and multiple detached garages if you need the extra storage. Downtown Rockford is practically next door—grocery stores and restaurants within a few minutes on foot, plus trails and shops when you want to wander. Access to Lake Bella Vista's all-sports water, beaches, tennis and pickleball courts, and boat launch adds another layer, though that comes with quarterly Lake Bella Vista dues of $75. The Rockford Public Schools district serves the community, and you're within 25 minutes of downtown Grand Rapids and about 33 minutes to Gerald R. Ford Airport if commuting is part of the equation. Silver Lake sits just half a mile away for anyone thinking about water access beyond the community itself.
