Chary Ridge No.2
Solid value in a growing area
Median $315K·Walkability 0.9/10·Schools 5.3/10
What catches people off guard about this place is how much breathing room you get on a modest lot—0.37 acres means you're not living on top of your neighbors, even though the whole subdivision spans just 12 acres. Homes here run around $368K, and the setup lets you feel genuinely removed without actually being far from anything that matters. Ball Creek Park sits about a mile down the road if you want to stretch out, while a 31-minute drive lands you in downtown Grand Rapids whenever the mood strikes. Kent City Community Schools serves the area, and the subdivision sits within the Chary Ridge Area, a quietly established corner of West Michigan where the practical wins out over the showy.
