Villas at Whistlestop
Strong schools draw families here
Median $730K·Walkability 5.3/10·Schools 7.8/10
The whole development spans just 10 acres, which means there's genuine density without feeling crowded—homes here run around $816K, and you get actual land to breathe on. What really struck me was how walkable it all is: Byron Township Bicentennial Park is about a seven-minute walk, the nearest restaurant is similarly close, and there are 48 restaurants within a mile if you're not in the mood to cook. The grocery stores and coffee shops are practically neighbors too. You're also right in the pocket between downtown Grand Rapids (17 minutes or so) and Gerald R. Ford Airport (about 20 minutes), so logistics don't feel like a thing you have to think about.
