The Summit
Strong schools draw families here
Median $629K·Walkability 6.9/10·Schools 8.5/10
What might surprise you about The Summit is how much life happens within arm's reach—a grocery store is a two-minute walk, a restaurant is practically next door, and Leslie E. Tassell Park sits just around the corner. The condo community spreads across eight acres with individual lots averaging about a third of an acre, and homes here run around $863K. Downtown Grand Rapids is about eighteen minutes away, and if you're catching a flight to Gerald R. Ford, you're looking at roughly fourteen minutes from your driveway. The neighborhood itself has real density of choice: fifty-four restaurants within a mile, three parks within walking distance, and a coffee shop about four minutes on foot. It's the kind of place where you're not trading access for space—you get both, which isn't always how these things work out.
