Waterleaf Site Condominiums

...so you're looking at 55 acres of Traditional-style condos running around $1.4M, mostly on three-quarter-acre lots, which means you get actual land here—not the postage-stamp version. HardiPlank construction keeps maintenance reasonable. You're about 15 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which is close enough that you don't feel stranded but far enough that you're not hearing the downtown pulse at night. Gerald R. Ford Airport is 23 minutes out if that matters. The real draw, though, is what's immediately around you: a grocery store and a restaurant are both about an 8-minute walk, and there are 173 restaurants within a mile, so the "I'm starving and don't want to drive" problem basically doesn't exist here. Knapp Valley Forest Park is a 14-minute walk if you want trees without leaving the neighborhood, and there are three parks within a mile total. John Ball Lake sits less than a mile away, which means water access without the lake-house price tag. Schools fall under Forest Hills Public Schools, and the nearest bus stop is a 14-minute walk if transit matters to you. It's the kind of place where you get enough space to breathe but enough proximity to everything that you're not spending your life in the car.
