Roselle Park in Ada Michigan along the Grand River is 247 acre park that is
a dedicated Natural Habitat Refuge. On a rainy Saturday a few weeks
ago, we stopped and took a few photos. It was cold and windy but
the fall colors were great. We walked on one of the trails along the Grand
River. A very peaceful place to visit. Dogs on leashes are welcome.
These silos were left from the previous owner of the property. The one with
the stars on top has been made into a 9 story observation tower.
This stone states that Roselle park is dedicated the people of Ada Township
View from the observation tower toward the Grand River
On the walking trail along the river.
The Grand River, the longest river in Michigan. It starts near Hillsdale MI and
winds it's way north then west, eventually emptying into Lake Michigan.
This spot is just north of the confluence of the Thornapple River at Ada MI.

We have gathered a list of the Top Best Kentwood Home
Buys. Please note: This list can change daily as some
homes sell, prices are adjusted and other homes come
on the market. The homes listed below are probably
dated and would need updating with new carpeting,
paint, and kitchen-bath redos at a minimum to bring
them to current market standards. They might need major
repair work done, such as new roofs & mechanicals.
*Some of these homes may be bank owned foreclosures and
not habitable as is or available for a mortgage in present condition.*

Check back often or just subscribe to our blog to get
up-to-date local real estate information that you want to know.
The total square footage is noted here, although only the
main floors are used to figure price per square foot. The
lowest prices/Sq Ft range from $26.34 to $69.44 in
Kentwood this month.
Homes on the list this month are still at bargain prices, with
average price per square foot @ $58.50.
Kentwood & Wyoming have been hit hard by the automotive
shutdowns and subsequent job losses in these areas. Nearly half of
the homes we researched this month were short sale properties
that will be coming on the market in the next 6-9 months as
foreclosure sales.
Short Sales are extremely difficult for most home buyers to
consider as a purchase. Please keep in mind the time alone
[3-9 months] of negotiating with the banks makes it almost
impossible for some buyers to consider.

Autumn is a picturesque time of year here in West Michigan. We have lots
of rivers, lakes, fall color, and lots of wildlife. This series of photos lets you
see a few residents of the Thornapple River at their daily routine.
The Thornapple River flows into the Grand River, the longest in the state at
Ada Michigan. Needless to say, a haven for wildlife year round. This gaggle
of geese was just off the Thornapple Pointe Golf Club in southeastern Kent
County a few weekends ago.
