Whitewood Farms

Most people hear "condo community" and picture townhouses stacked shoulder-to-shoulder. Whitewood Farms is 25 acres of something else entirely—each lot runs 1.45 acres, which means you're not borrowing your neighbor's exhaust fumes with your morning coffee. Homes here run around $1.1M. The location does real work: downtown Grand Rapids is just 12 minutes away, and Gerald R. Ford Airport lands you in 18.6 minutes, so you're not trading access for space. Kent ISD runs the schools. A grocery store sits about 1.8 miles out, and there are eighteen within a two-mile radius if you're the comparison-shopping type. Crahen Valley Park is a 14-minute walk when you need air, and the Knapp Street Bridge boat launch is 1.8 miles if the water calls. The nearest restaurant and coffee shop hover just under two miles—close enough that you're not planning an expedition for lunch, far enough that you're living on actual land, not in a parking lot fringe.
