Jenison MI and Georgetown Township Water Front Homes!!

Therese VanderMeer - Realtor -  FlexIt Realty: Real Estate Agent in Jenison, MI


Being that this is the time of year we all "Get the Bug" and have the dream of owning a home on the water with lot's of summer fun in the sun, I decided to do a little research and find out how many lakes we have here in our lovely Jenison MI, Georgetown Charter Township Area. Even though I have lived here all of my life, I was quite pleasantly surprised to find we had so many!

We actually have approximately 16 lakes (to my best count) some which were developed in and around the 1970's or so and then of course our newer developments from the 1990's - 2000+ years. Prices will vary depending on the age of the home and the lake it is on...low end pricing may begin at about $150,000.00 and go all the way up to $700,000.000+ for our Luxury Homes located in our Newer Lake Front Developments.

You will find we have homes on ponds or smaller lakes which will offer a bit more quiet and solitude...along with the All Sports Lakes, where families can enjoy all of their crazy fun toys like fast boats, jet ski's, wake boards, tubing and just pretty much anything fun on the water that you can think of!

By the way...that insane kid in the picture jumping off the slide is my oldest son Corey and I've never seen this picture before! Somethings are just better kept untold, I think sometimes. :-)

Both of these pictures were taken on Cedar Lake which is one of our newer lake front developments of Gorgeous Luxury Homes!!!

As of this writing we currently have 28 Active Water Front Listings. I am enclosing them in the link below for your preview so you can get a glimpse as to what is presently offered.
(Please know all prices are subject to change depending on current market conditions and the availability of homes)

What are the names of all the Jenison MI Area Condo's and where can I find them????........

We all know that there are way more condo's available out there than many of us are even aware of. The trick is being able to learn what the different Condo Association Names are and where you can find them. It is not always as easy as going to the phone book or even the internet for often many associations will not have a main office for you to call or a even website.

In order to make your Jenison MI Area Condo shopping experience as easy and uncomplicated as possible I have put together this very simple and basic map for you to use.


You can view this map by simply clicking on the link below. If you then choose a condo name located in the left hand column and click on it, it will highlight the condo location on the map...you can then easily scroll up and focus the map, to view the crossroads and street names.

Finding Condo Information is not easy but there is help out there!!

Therese VanderMeer - Realtor -  FlexIt Realty: Real Estate Agent in Jenison, MI
As a Realtor Specializing in Condo's in the Jenison, Hudsonville and Grandville MI Area's, I learned the hard way that finding General Information on Condo Associations can not only be difficult but also terribly frustrating. As you begin to explore the different possibilities open to you in Buying a condo you will learn quickly that when it comes to Condo Associations everything varies, from the cost of the Monthly Association Fee too, will they allow you to place that bird feeder out on your back deck?

While preparring to purchase a Condo you should decide very early on what things are most important to you. On top of the typical wants and needs list for purchasing a home such as...

1. How many beds and baths do you need?

2. What area do you want to live in?

3. What price range do you need to stay within?

4. How soon do you want or need to move?






The above list can go on I know
but when considering a Condo, there are some other things that are very important and must also be taken into consideration...

1. Do you have a pet and if so will the condo association allow it?

2. How important to you is an end unit?

3. What is the Monthly Association Fee and what does it cover?

4. Do you prefer a Senior Community, Club House, Pool etc...

5. When repairs are needed what is taken care of by the Association?

6. What type of parking do they have and where can your guests park when they come to visit?

7. Where is your mail box!?

8. How does the trash get picked up?

Many Associations do not have a Main Office so there is no place to just stop in and ask. Also, unless you already know someone who lives in a particular association it can be truly difficult to find out who their Contact Person or the Association President is to get your questions answered.

Ok...so how do you go about getting the information you are in need of and your questions answered without becoming so frustrated you want to pull all your hair out?? (and believe me you will, I have been there!) Please just contact your area Realtor who is experienced in Condo Sales and avoid this added aggravation! Isn't purchasing and moving difficult enough without having to throw all of this into the mix? It will be as easy as giving your Realtor all of your wants and needs, they will then be happy to contact the appropriate parties to get your questions answered. It's really just that easy.

Aggravation avoided and Best of Luck to YOU!!

Condo, Condo, Condo's In the Jenison, Grandville and Hudsonville MI Areas!

Therese VanderMeer - Realtor -  FlexIt Realty: Real Estate Agent in Jenison, MI



This has definitely been a banner year for me when it comes to the sale of condo's in the Jenison, Grandville and Hudsonville MI areas. What I have been noticing is it is becoming more and more widespread for our young First Time Home Buyers to consider purchasing a condo, not only as a good investment (rent vs own) but also because it provides all the benefits of home ownership without all the work and outside maintenance typically involved.

This is quite a switch from the past when condo's were by and large considered just a good move for seniors in deciding to downsize as they began their retirement years. Although this new trend for First Time Home Buyers is definitely having an positive impact on our condo communities we still are especially fortunate to have our wonderful Seniors, who are also very much enjoying the fantastic condo communities and the ease of lifestyle that it affords!

Our Jension, Grandville and Hudsonville MI areas have much to offer with their varried Condo communities. If you are simply looking for easy, affordable living it is very possible for you to purchase a condo with lower living expenses than that of an apartment!

And if you are looking for a more "posh" style of living...we have that too and everything in between!!
