Cherry Valley Woods
Strong schools draw families here
Median $665K·Walkability 1.7/10·Schools 8.3/10
Most condo communities promise low maintenance and call it a day. Cherry Valley Woods delivers the practical side—association dues cover water, sewer, exterior upkeep, snow removal, trash, cable, and high-speed internet—but the real draw is what surrounds the 32-acre development. Stand-alone villa-style units back up to Leopard Preserve, a five-minute walk away, and many sit with pond views or walkout lower levels that feel less like a shared development and more like a private compound. The condos themselves were built with main-floor living in mind; some include three-stall garages and accessibility features that hint at the care taken in design. You'll find about a dozen restaurants within a mile, a coffee shop 1.4 miles down the road, and grocery shopping 2.1 miles away. The Gerald R. Ford Airport is eight minutes off, while downtown Grand Rapids sits about 24 minutes northeast. Homes here run around $785K, and the Caledonia Community Schools district serves the area. What makes Cherry Valley Woods feel different from typical condo rows is the landscape itself—enough trees and greenspace that you're not looking at other units from your patio, and a preserved natural area right there to walk into.

Estimates use a 6.49% 30-year fixed rate (current Freddie Mac average), an aggressive ~45% housing-to-income ratio (roughly what FHA underwriting can allow for a buyer with no other monthly debts — your number depends on your debts and credit), this area's median sale price, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
