Grand Rapids Michigan Real Estate Blog

We have gathered a list of the top East Grand Rapids Houses to buy

based on price per square foot.  Price per square foot is a great leveler.

If two similar homes are listed at similar prices, their price per square

foot should be similar.  It should reflect the interior finish of the home.

 For example, if it has crystal chandeliers, marble tile, a new kitchen,

this would be more per square foot than a home that still has the

1970’s decor and/or is in derelict condition.

Please note that this list can change daily as some homes sell, prices are

 adjusted and other homes come on the market.

The total square footage is noted here, although only the main floors

are used to figure price per square foot.

East Grand Rapids bargains have all but disappeared.   Only one home

under $100K (it is under 1000 square feet) has been listed for the past

 8 months.

If you have been waiting for the right time to buy, don’t wait much

longer.  We are seeing definite signs of competition for homes in most

areas, like East Grand Rapids and Forest Hills. Homes in good condition

and priced appropriately are selling quickly. 

*Some of these homes may be bank owned foreclosures and not habitable

as is or available for a mortgage in present condition.*

We enjoy autumn in Michigan, it is one of our favorite seasons. The fall colors, the

 crisp fall air, football games, crisp crunchy apples are just a few of the wonderful

things about fall in Michigan.

 

 While the autumn colors on the trees are a thing of beauty, they quickly become

a much detested chore to clean up.  Raking leaves on a beautiful fall day

 is fun for about 30 minutes. On a blustery cold, rainy day, it is a miserable

chore, a never ending job to complete.  The leaves fall like rain, and will

take a few days to 2 weeks to completely leave the trees.

 

 

If you live in the city of East Grand Rapids, Michigan, this isn't such a chore because the

 city takes away your leaves for you.  All you have to do is get them to the curb. 

 

As you can see in these photos of a few streets in East Grand Rapids, many

 leaves are at the curb, ready to be picked up and composted.

East Grand Rapids Michigan is America's hometown, at least for quite a few famous

people and lots of not-so-famous people.   Gerald R Ford, our 38th President and

 our 40th Vice President grew up in Grand Rapids and lived in East Grand Rapids

when he served 25 years as a Michigan Congressman.  The movie American Pie

was written by Adam Herz, who grew up in East Grand Rapids and based the movie

on his teen years. 

But East Grand Rapids Michigan is more than a famous hometown, it is a

quintessential American hometown. The population is about 11,000 people, and it

 has fewer than 4000 housing units.  East Grand Rapids has 4 seasons, so you

can enjoy all seasonal sports and outdoor events.

You can walk or bike to almost anywhere in East in a short time, it has about 3 square

miles of total area.  You can frolic in Collins Park on Reeds Lake almost year round. 

 If you jet ski, sail, wind surf, fish, or just like to gaze at the water, Reeds Lake is a

 prominent part of the local community activities.

East GR has great neighborhoods, some include stately mansions, others are average

homes, tree lined streets,  above average city services, such as leaf & yard waste r

emoval, award winning public schools, a vibrant downtown shopping district-

Gaslight Village, and all within 10 minutes of downtown Grand Rapids cultural events.

Take our photo tour of East Grand Rapids MI and get acquainted with it's charm.
