The West Bluffs Condominiums
Strong schools draw families here
Median $852K·Walkability 6.5/10·Schools 8.6/10
You wake up here and the first thing you notice is space—two acres of it, which means your condo doesn't feel like it's holding its breath next to someone else's. The community sits in the 36th Street to I-96 area, about 17 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and close enough to Gerald R. Ford Airport that you're not spending your morning in traffic before a flight. Groceries are a quick walk away, and if you want dinner, there are 60 restaurants within a mile—you'll find a coffee shop about 13 minutes on foot, or grab one closer by car in half that time. Homes here run around $852K, and the Forest Hills Public Schools district serves the area. Leslie E. Tassell Park is a reasonable walk for when you want to get out without leaving the neighborhood entirely.
