Horizon Condominiums
Walkable near top schools
Walkability 7.2/10·Schools 4.7/10
Horizon Condominiums sits in Creston, just four and a half minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, so the city skyline feels like your neighbor. The Medical Mile and Creston's business districts are practically your backyard. What surrounds you is the useful stuff: 102 restaurants within a mile, 36 grocery stores in a two-mile radius, and a transit stop steps away. Mary Waters Park is a two-minute walk. None of this happens by accident—the location was chosen specifically to connect three major employment centers, so if you work anywhere in that triangle, you're not burning gas to get home. Drive to Gerald R. Ford Airport takes about 22 minutes. Homes here run around the mid-range for the area, and you're looking at three acres of development with underground parking, a courtyard, and shared amenities built into the design. The walkability isn't spectacular—errands score a 6 out of 10, dining a 6.4—but transit access is excellent. You'll want your car for most things, though the nearest grocery is a five-minute walk and a coffee shop is less than a mile away. Schools feed into Grand Rapids Public Schools, and a boat launch sits about a mile down the road at Comstock Riverside Park.
