York Woods Condominum

The first thing that hits you pulling into York Woods is the space—16 acres laid out without the crowding you'd expect this close to downtown. The condos sit on what amounts to 15.58 acres of breathing room per unit, which means you're not stacked shoulder to shoulder with neighbors. You can actually hear yourself think here, and the setting feels more like a low-density enclave than a typical condo cluster. A grocery store is about an 8-minute walk away, and there's a restaurant within 6 minutes if you need it—close enough to grab dinner without the car, far enough that you're not living above a commercial strip. Dwight Lydell Park sits 11 minutes on foot, and four parks total fall within a mile radius, so outdoor access is real. The nearest transit stop is just a 2-minute walk, which matters if you're heading downtown Grand Rapids in 13.5 minutes or need to get to Gerald R. Ford Airport in under 30. Homes here run around $237K, anchored in Comstock Park Public Schools, and the whole setup sits within the 4 Mile Rd & Alpine Ave Area. It's not remote—132 restaurants and 30 grocery stores within reasonable distance prove that—but the unit itself doesn't feel hemmed in. That's the real selling point: condo living without feeling like you're living in a condo.
