The first thing you notice pulling in is the space—158 acres spread across West Michigan, with each lot averaging just over half an acre, enough room to breathe without feeling isolated. The condos here sit in the Pine Island Dr & Algoma Ave Area, far enough from the noise of downtown Grand Rapids (about 20 minutes by car) but close enough that you're not abandoning access to restaurants, bars, and entertainment when you need them. Schools here fall under Sparta Area Schools, and the median home value hovers around $597K. You're near Chalmers Park, less than a mile away, and the Rogue River boat launch is even closer at just over half a mile—genuinely useful if you're the type to keep a kayak or small boat within reach. A grocery store and decent restaurant sit about two miles out, with a coffee shop at the same distance, so daily errands require a short drive rather than a walk. If you're heading to Gerald R. Ford Airport, budget around 35 minutes. Freska Lake sits 1.6 miles away, offering another water option for those who value proximity to it without needing to live on the shoreline.
