Villas of Creekside
Solid value in a growing area
Median $406K·Walkability 3.3/10·Schools 5.1/10
What might surprise you about Villas of Creekside is that it's a completely sold-out development—there's no new construction here, just the 26 duplex ranch-style condos already built among mature trees on a private street. If you're drawn to single-level living with granite countertops, 9- and 10-foot ceilings, and walk-in pantries, you're looking at resale inventory running between $299K and $374K, depending on the floor plan. The real draw, though, is the location: you're 13 minutes from Gerald R. Ford Airport, 17 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, and literally steps from Creekside Park, where Kent Trails walking paths weave through the green space. The development sits on 13 acres of quiet, wooded ground—privacy without isolation. Restaurants cluster nearby (96 within a mile), and grocery stores, coffee shops, and transit all fall within a 10- to 13-minute walk, so you're not stranded if you don't want to drive every time.

Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
