A quiet suburb surrounded by water
Small watercraft depart private docks and travel through large community lakes before idling as boaters throw lines or soak up the sun. This is a typical summer afternoon in Northview, a quiet suburb just 10 miles from downtown Grand Rapids. While not every home is on a lake, homebuyers have an increased chance of acquiring waterfront properties since the neighborhood is wrapped by the Grand River and dotted with about a dozen lakes. Single-family homes dominate Northview, and whether waterfront or not, most sit on densely wooded lots. The neighborhood is also known for its highly-rated schools and impressive Donald Lamoreaux Park, which spans over 260 acres along the Grand River. “It really checks so many boxes. It’s affordable, it’s convenient, it’s got a great school district. It’s a no-brainer for most of my clients,” says Ashley Schaefer, a local Realtor with Hello Homes GR. She’s been selling in the area for 13 years.

Custom homes on private waterfront lots
In Northview, homebuyers can find everything from quaint twentieth-century cottages and ranch-style homes to large, raised ranches and new custom contemporary builds. “Northview is really affordably priced. On average, it costs between 300,000 to 400,000 to live in the district. The typical buyer, whether moving up or moving down, can find something there,” Schaefer says. Most twentieth-century homes sell for between $100,000 and $500,000, increasing in price as they grow in size. Older lakefront dwellings, however, boast premium prices, starting around $600,000 and eclipsing $900,000. Custom new builds in landlocked HOA communities sell for between $300,000 and $500,000, while lakeside homes sell for between $800,000 and $1.5 million.
Northview offers waterfront views with the Grand River and multiple lakes nearby.

I am not really an outdoorsy person. There are parks, lakes, rivers and gardens nearby that are ok to visit once in awhile.

Crime rates are very low where I live in Grand Rapids. My neighborhood is very safe, I hardly ever lock my car, can leave the garage door open when no one is home, and trust my neighbors to have our spare key. Cops aren't on patrol too much on this side of town but that is only because it isn't very needed. That being said I do see a cop car at least 3 times a week patrolling the streets. I feel very safe with them around, but I also feel safe without them because of the safe community. I have had to call the police when an accident occurred in front of my house and they responded in record time and dealt with the situation professionally.
