Median $1.2M·Walkability 1.8/10·Schools 8.7/10
Your morning coffee takes a drive rather than a walk—that's the tradeoff for 1.25 acres of land beneath your home and genuine distance from your neighbors. Highlands Cove spreads across 33 acres in the Grand River Drive and Pettis Avenue area, where condo living means something different: detached or semi-detached homes with garages and breathing room, not shared walls and hallway noise. It's a quieter version of condo ownership, one where you're not stacked vertically but spread out horizontally. Homes here run around $1.2M, and they reflect the space and privacy that drives people to choose this particular corner of Grand Rapids rather than the denser neighborhoods closer in.
