The Village of Thousand Oaks-Porches Condominium
Easy outdoor access
Median $629K·Walkability 2.7/10·Schools 5.0/10
— and what you're looking at is a 9-acre condo community where the units themselves carry a median value around $850K, which puts you in a fairly substantial price bracket even before you're thinking about what kind of lifestyle that buys. The development sits in the Grand River Dr & East Beltline Ave Area, roughly 18 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and about 24 minutes from Gerald R. Ford airport if you're the type who travels regularly. Versluis Lake sits just over a mile away, and if you're into boating, the Rogue River Mouth Launch is two miles off—close enough that a Saturday morning on the water doesn't require an expedition. A grocery store lands about a mile and a half away (six within two miles total), and restaurants and coffee shops both clock in around a mile and a third, so you're not hunting very hard for basics. The community itself sits on nearly 10 acres per lot on average, which in condo-speak means you're getting actual space and land around you rather than the tighter density you'd find closer to the city. Kids in the area attend Northview Public Schools, and there's an unnamed park just over a mile out if you want green space on foot.
