Hickory Pointe Woods Condominium

What keeps people here is the space—each condo sits on roughly an acre and a quarter, which in West Michigan means actual breathing room without the upkeep of a full house. The community spans 44 acres, so there's real land between you and your neighbors, the kind of setup that lets you have a yard and your life at the same time. Homes run around $175K, and you're still close enough to things that matter: a restaurant is under two miles away, the Gerald R. Ford Airport is about 12 and a half minutes out, and downtown Grand Rapids lands at roughly 22 minutes if you need it. The Forest Hills Public Schools district covers the area, and if you've got a dog, Shaggy Pines Dog Park is a short drive at a mile and a half. Campau Lake Launch sits 2.6 miles away for anyone who wants to get on the water, and a grocery store rounds out the practical side of things at just over three miles. It's the kind of place where you get the low-key rhythm of a condo community without feeling like you're stacked in on top of anyone.
