Median $825K·Walkability 1.9/10·Schools 8.8/10
Turning Creek sits on thirteen acres in the 84th St & Hanna Lake Ave Area, a stretch of West Michigan where suburban space gives way to genuine quiet—the kind where you can hear the season change. The condo community is anchored between Gerald R. Ford airport (a fourteen-minute drive) and downtown Grand Rapids (eighteen minutes), so you're close enough to the city's pull without living in its noise. Homes here run around $825K on average, built on half-acre lots that actually feel like land. You've got three parks within a mile, and Crystals Springs East Community Park is a short walk away. A grocery store sits about a mile and a half down the road; restaurants and coffee shops cluster nearby too. Cross Creek Charter Academy serves the area. There's room to breathe here without the feeling of being stranded—the ordinary arrangement of suburban living done right, where you can own space and still reach what you need in minutes.
