Driving through Windy West, you move past modest ranch and colonial homes on tree-lined streets where the pace stays unhurried. The subdivision spreads across twelve acres in the 44th Street and Shaffer Avenue area, close enough to Gerald R. Ford Airport that a seven-minute drive gets you there, yet far enough that the neighborhood itself stays grounded in its own rhythm. Homes run around $415K, and you're within reach of eighteen restaurants and a dozen grocery stores within a mile or two—enough variety that you're not hunting far for what you need.
