Grenelefe Condominiums
Strong schools draw families here
Median $405K·Walkability 6.9/10·Schools 8.5/10
Living at Grenelefe means waking up to mature pines and wooded views instead of the usual suburban sprawl—the condos here are genuinely spacious, ranging from 2,055 to over 2,550 square feet, which changes how you actually move through your home. Many units sit on ridges overlooking the landscape, and you're never far from the 17 miles of paved trails that loop through the community. The neighborhood sits squarely in Forest Hills Public Schools, and you're just minutes from Cascade Village's shops and restaurants—steps to coffee, a three-minute walk to grocers, and surrounded by 54 restaurants within a mile. Drive time to downtown Grand Rapids runs about 17 minutes, or 13 minutes to Gerald R. Ford airport if that matters for your routine. Homes here run around $420,000 to $435,000, and the condos themselves are built with the details you'd expect: hardwood floors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, open floor plans with big windows designed to frame those woods outside.

Crime in Grenelefe Condominiums is reported at the city level, not the neighborhood level.

Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Grenelefe Condominiums home (around $405,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $72k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,694 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

Estimates use a 6.49% 30-year fixed rate (current Freddie Mac average), an aggressive ~45% housing-to-income ratio (roughly what FHA underwriting can allow for a buyer with no other monthly debts — your number depends on your debts and credit), this area's median sale price, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
