Samrick Hills
Surrounded by nature
Median $563K·Walkability 3.0/10·Schools 5.3/10
Samrick Hills sits in English Meadows Area, about 15 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and just under 31 minutes from Gerald R. Ford airport—close enough to the city's pull without living in it. The 15-acre community centers on condos with an average lot of 1.74 acres, a scale that lets you breathe without the maintenance burden of sprawl. Homes here run around $563K. Within a mile you'll find a grocery store, six restaurants, and five parks; a coffee shop is 2.5 miles out. Duck Lake sits 1.6 miles away if you want water access, and the Rogue River Mouth Launch is 2.6 miles if you've got a boat. The unnamed park is a seven-minute walk, which counts as close enough to actually use. Chandler Woods Charter Academy serves the area. It's the kind of place where you get size and some solitude without feeling marooned—the trade-offs are honest, the location works, and you're not paying for amenities you'll never visit.
