Solid value in a growing area
Median $541K·Walkability 4.2/10·Schools 5.1/10
What sets this 39-acre neighborhood apart is its real walkability—you've got a grocery store less than a mile away, a coffee shop and restaurants right around the corner, and Creekside County Park practically on your doorstep at just half a mile. Families here tend to stay put, with over 70 percent of homes owner-occupied, and you're looking at a reasonable commute of about 24 minutes to get where you need to go. It's the kind of place where you can actually pop out for what you need without a production, all while being part of a genuine community in the Kentwood Public Schools area.
