Darby Farms
Strong schools draw families here
Median $1.5M·Walkability 0.0/10·Schools 8.2/10
The tree line along Honey Creek Avenue marks where Darby Farms begins—164 acres of condo lots, each running nearly three acres, that sit in that productive middle distance where you're close enough to downtown Grand Rapids (20 minutes) without feeling like you're in it. Homes here run around $1.7M, and the scale of the property tells you something: this isn't a cluster of units pretending to be a community. The nearest grocery is 2.5 miles out, a restaurant about two miles, which means you're choosing to be here for the land and the breathing room, not the walk-to-everything convenience of town. Chief Hazy-Cloud County Park sits 1.4 miles away if you want a quick outing, and the Knapp Street Bridge Launch is 2.2 miles if you've got a boat or kayak. Schools fall under Forest Hills Public Schools, and the Gerald R. Ford airport is 26.3 minutes if you're the type who needs that proximity.
