Summer Shores Condominiums
Solid value in a growing area
Median $397K·Walkability 4.1/10·Schools 5.0/10
Sailor Lake sits at the edge of this 28-acre condo community, its presence felt more than seen from most units, which cluster across the property in ranch-style stone homes running around $340K. Within a three-minute walk you'll find grocers and restaurants—there are 54 of them within a mile—so the practical errands of living here don't require much deliberation. The nearest coffee shop is about a mile away, and a transit stop lands within a six-minute walk if you need it. Downtown Grand Rapids is roughly 16 minutes by car, and Gerald R. Ford Airport sits just under 17 minutes, which means leaving town or getting downtown doesn't eat your whole afternoon. An unnamed park is a ten-minute walk away, with another park nearby if you want options. Students here feed into Kentwood Public Schools, and the whole setup is part of the larger Ted Breen Plat Extension Area, where space and access happen to coexist without drama.
