Windemere

Biking through Windemere feels like moving through a residential pocket that actually respects the space between homes—24 acres carved into lots averaging less than half an acre each, which means you get some breathing room without the sprawl of a true subdivision. The condo layout reads as thoughtfully dense, the kind of place where you can reach John H. Bonnell Park in a six-minute walk and still have three other parks within a mile if you're the type who rotates where you stretch your legs. Downtown Grand Rapids sits 11.8 minutes away by car, and Gerald R. Ford airport is 14.4 minutes out, so the location trades density for genuine proximity to both the city and the route out of it. Homes here run around $635K, which positions the community in the middle-to-upper range for the area—not the highest ceiling, but not entry-level either.
