East Grand Rapids Michigan Top Best Buy Homes August 2010

We have a list of the Top Best Buy East Grand Rapids Houses

to buy based on price/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 and 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 value per square foot than a home

that still has the 1980’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.

A place to live, work and raise a family!

East Grand Rapids, know as a premier residential area, has one of the lowest crime rates in the state and in the nation. A small town that thinks big!

In the days to come, I will be covering the shopping district of Gas Light Village. East Grand Rapids has so many wonderful shops I can not just do this in one post. So I will highlight a business each day. You will find many one of kind treasures in these locally owed stores.

Below you find links to maps. If you are shopping for a home in East Grand Rapids the first map will help you scope out the location of the homes that you are interested in. The second is a Reeds Lake Trail map.

Reeds lake trail is used for walkers, joggers and bicycle riders. Reeds lake trail runs 4.2 miles of gravel and paved path. You will find friends and families getting their daily exercise here. And yes, everyone smiles and waves hello as they pass you by. My daughter and I, in her middle school years did some great mother-daughter bonding riding our bikes around Reeds Lake!

The last link is to the City of East Grand Rapids. At the bottom of this page is video's of East Grand Rapids, community. No, they did not stage the people walking around gas light village; this is really how it is. A very vibrant and friendly area!
