The Townhomes at Walnut Ridge Condominiums
Strong schools draw families here
Median $365K·Walkability 2.6/10·Schools 7.8/10
You're headed into a townhome community where the daily setup actually works—three acres of condos in the Marlo Farms Area, laid out so you can slip out the door and be downtown Grand Rapids in about 17 minutes, or at the airport in just over 20. The nearest grocery is a 15-minute walk, which beats the usual condo shuffle of loading the car for milk, and there are six grocery stores within two miles if you're stocking up for the week. Around you sits Douglas Walker County Park, less than a mile away, plus a handful of other green space in the immediate radius—the kind of neighborhood where you can actually see trees without hunting for them. Eighteen restaurants within a walking radius mean dinner conversations don't always have to happen at home, whether that's a quick coffee shop run just over a mile away or something more intentional. The townhomes themselves run traditional in style, built to last the way older construction does, and homes here run around $250K–$350K depending on what you're looking at. Your kids would fall into Byron Center Public Schools, and the whole setup gives you that rare condo thing where you're not crammed against neighbors but you're not stranded either—close enough to what you need, far enough from feeling like the city's pressing in.
