Shady Oaks Condominiums
Strong schools draw families here
Median $428K·Walkability 4.3/10·Schools 8.3/10
Driving through Shady Oaks Condominiums, you're immediately aware of the variety—units range from around thirteen hundred square feet to over thirty-eight hundred, and the styles and sizes shift as you move through the small development. The location on 28th Street puts you near the practical pulse of things: a restaurant within a seven-minute walk, a coffee shop in ten, and a grocery store at fourteen minutes on foot. Gerald R. Ford Airport is less than nine minutes away, and downtown Grand Rapids sits about sixteen minutes south. The neighborhood has the feel of something scaled to residents who want options without sprawl—one hundred twenty-six restaurants and thirty-six grocery stores within reasonable distance, but not looming over the immediate surroundings.
