Creek Side Glen

So here's the thing about heading out to Creek Side Glen—you're looking at a pretty straightforward shot, about 32 minutes into downtown Grand Rapids if you ever need to be there, but honestly most of the appeal is staying put. This is a 31-acre condo community where each unit sits on nearly an acre of land, which in the condo world basically means you get space and breathing room without the full maintenance load of a house. The homes run around $310K, and they're built as single-level ranch-style condos—the kind of layout that works whether you're downsizing or just done with stairs. Mature trees wrap around the development, so you're not staring at your neighbor's driveway, and you've got quick access to M-6 if you need it.
