Highgrove

Highgrove sits on 80 acres of land in the Country Brook Estates Area, and what really sticks with you about this place is how much breathing room you actually get—condo living without feeling boxed in. You're close enough to downtown Grand Rapids that a 22-minute drive gets you there, and Gerald R. Ford Airport is just under 20 minutes away, so commuting isn't a thing you have to think about. There are a dozen grocery stores within a couple miles, along with restaurants and coffee shops a short drive over, but the real draw is what's immediately around you: Michael McGraw Park is a 9-minute walk, and there are two parks within a mile, which means you're not choosing between community amenities and actual space. Homes here run in the mid-to-upper $300s, and you're tied into Forest Hills Public Schools, which matters if schools are on your radar. The boat launch at Ada on the Grand River is about 1.7 miles out if you're into that. It's the kind of place where you get the convenience of being near everything without the everything actually being on top of you—80 acres means there's room to think, and that's what you remember when you're sitting on your patio on a Saturday afternoon.
