What catches people off guard about this place is how much living happens in such compact ground—a single acre holding a whole condo community where neighbors are genuinely close by, not just theoretically. The homes here run around $882K, and they're positioned in a location that feels more central than far-flung: downtown Grand Rapids is about 17 minutes away, and you can reach Gerald R. Ford Airport in under 20. But the real surprise is the immediate texture of the neighborhood. A coffee shop is a couple of miles out, sure, but there are 24 restaurants within walking distance—some just three minutes on foot—and seven parks clustered within a mile. Leonard Field sits five minutes away on foot. The Thornapple River boat launch at Ada–Grand River Launch is less than a mile off. It's the kind of setup where you're not choosing between community living and access; you're getting both at once.
