Caledonia Township is a Grand Rapids suburb with rural character
Located in Kent County just southeast of Grand Rapids, Caledonia Township offers a blend of rural charm and suburban convenience. In the 1970s, farms and forests covered nearly half of its area. Over the years, as demand for housing has risen, some of the farmland has been transformed into residential developments. “There's still lots of character, though, with rolling hills and woods,” says Steven Hanson, broker and owner of Hanson Real Estate Group, who has lived in the region for more than 35 years. “People also like that there’s a little more space than in the city.”
In the southwestern corner, the more densely populated village of Caledonia is home to locally owned restaurants and businesses that serve most of the community’s needs. With Grand Rapids nearby, residents have access to a wide range of services as well. “You’re close enough to the city that you can get to the hospital and any store you want relatively quickly,” Hanson says.

A mix of established homes and newer developments like Kraft Farms
While pastoral landscapes and native Michigan trees still line many roads, the area has become a patchwork of farms, village streets and suburban-style neighborhoods with cul-de-sacs and well-manicured lawns. Many homes were built in the 20th century, but newer developments have allowed the community to keep up with continuing demand. “We always get a lot of calls if we have listings out there,” Hanson says. “Many people are moving to be close to family.” Neighborhoods such as Kraft Farms and Snow Valley feature single-family homes with energy-efficient designs, and condo communities offer low-maintenance living.
The majority of houses range from $160,000 to $880,000, although custom homes on expansive, waterside properties can run as high as $2.1 million. Manufactured homes may range from $70,000 to $170,000, and condos typically sell between $160,000 and $570,000. Some condo and manufactured home communities charge additional monthly HOA fees, which tend to range from $400 to $800. Parts of the township are prone to flooding, so lenders may require flood insurance. The area's CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, below the national average of 4.

Grand Rapids, emergency care and the airport within a 20-mile drive
