G.S. Estates
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $370K·Walkability 1.5/10·Schools 7.0/10
Sitting just off Lake Michigan Drive in the Myers Lake Ave & 12 Mile Rd Area, G.S. Estates backs onto the Mines Golf Course—a setup that trades walkable convenience for space and green buffer. The condo community spans five acres of low-density development, the kind of place where you're looking at backyards instead of neighbor windows, with end-unit options that feel more like small homes than typical attached housing. Main-floor living with walkout basements and two-stall garages are standard, and most units run 1,300 to 1,366 square feet across two or three bedrooms. Homes here run around $370K, and you're about 25 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids when you need it, though Luton County Park sits just over a mile away if you want to stay local.
