Hudsonville, MI

West of Grand Rapids MI and in Ottawa County lies Hudsonville, MI. Known as the "Salad Bowl" city because of the large amount of surrounding loamy soil which supports growth of celery, onions, and various truck farming products. Hudsonville is largely a bedroom community with many residents commuting into Grand Rapids or west to the Zeeland and Holland communities.

The Hudsonville Public School District serves approximately 5306 students in 7 elementary buildings, two 6-8 grade middle schools, a freshman campus and the high school with grades 10-12.

A review of the single family home real estate activity in the school district from January 1, 2009-March 31, 2009 reveals the following:

The most significant competition for sellers remains in the $150-250,000 range with approximately a year of inventory given the rate of pending and closed sales in the first quarter.

Relocating to the Hudsonville MI area? Would you like to know more about this wonderful community? Take it from a "local" we have awesome schools with great parent involvement! Several flourishing businesses and parks, parks and more parks! All located with in 20 to 25 minute drive to the lake-shore to the west, and downtown Grand Rapids to the east, and just a hop, skip, jump away from Rivertown Crossings Mall.

Did I mention our community has plenty of PARKS AND BIKE TRAILS? (Oh yeah, I guess I did) Check out Holland/Zeeland, KIRK PARK and Pigeon Creek all about 25 minute drive from Hudsonville. My family loves Kirk Park, we often take the bike trail with our back packs and after our ride we head to the beach. So nice not transporting all the beach stuff!
