Old Elm Site Condominiums
Strong schools draw families here
Median $1.1M·Walkability 2.4/10·Schools 8.4/10
When you move somewhere with thousands of preserved and planted trees across 34 acres, you start noticing things—like how the walking trails wind through the whole development, or how the community pool and clubhouse actually get used for pizza parties and movie nights instead of sitting empty. Old Elm Site sits in the Country Brook Estates Area, where condos run around $1.1M and come with attached garages, daylight basements, and the kind of setup that suggests someone thought about how people actually want to live. You're about 19 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and roughly the same distance to Gerald R. Ford International Airport, which means you're close enough to everything without feeling like you're in the thick of it. The Kentwood School District serves the area, and there are six parks within a mile—Ada Township Park is just a six-minute walk away if you want to stretch your legs without a plan.
