Median $685K·Walkability 6.0/10·Schools 8.4/10
You'll find Thornapple Centre Site Condominiums spread across 12 acres in the Cascade Road and Burton Street area, where the built environment feels unhurried without being remote—you're roughly 20 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and about 15 minutes from Gerald R. Ford Airport, which means the city is close but doesn't intrude. The condos themselves sit on generous lots averaging two-thirds of an acre each, and there's real convenience woven in: a grocery store is a three-minute walk, a coffee shop equally close, and a restaurant within the same distance. Leslie E. Tassell Park is a short walk away if you want to stretch without leaving the neighborhood, and there are two other parks nearby as well. The dining scene around here has some actual depth—42 restaurants within a mile gives you real choice rather than the usual defaults.
