Grand Rapids, Michigan Those who live in Grand Rapids swear they will never live anywhere else! And it is mostly true, many young people leave Grand Rapids for the Detroit area, to further their studies perhaps, or the lure of a job, but most hanker for their town, and they return. So, what is it that makes Grand Rapids a place that evokes such loyalty? Could it be its breathtaking beauty, no matter the season? Perhaps the special homes that have been built here, including some famous Frank Lloyd Wright homes, or perhaps it's the exquisite downtown area where people of all ages congregate? Whatever the reason, Grand Rapids is definitely a popular place, whether you're a newcomer or a long time resident. There's lots to do, whether right in the town, or just minutes away; including Binder Park Zoo, an authentic African experience in Battle Creek. This zoo features one of the nation's largest herd of giraffe! With over 600 animals in a lush forest setting, this is not your typical zoo! Another popular place is the Blandford Nature Center, with its woods, ponds and streams preserved within the city. The animal exhibits and trails are open year round. Grand Rapids is also proud of its roots and heritage and to that end it has an Art Gallery that features works by artists from the West Michigan area. And with close to 200,000 residents in the Grand Rapids area alone, there are many fine artists to choose from! Art is not found just on the walls of the gallery however, but also in the architecture and styles of the homes that dot Grand Rapids. From mansions in the downtown area, to newer sub-divisions on the outskirts of town, there is a house, condo, apartment or flat to meet every budget. A cozy three bedroom home with 1,300 square feet of space, with a one or two car detached garage will cost around $80,000, considerably less than the national average. Grand Rapids also has its own community college, which has grown rapidly over the last decade and is a popular place for matriculating students. The school district is one of the best in Michigan and prides itself on its excellent education. Lake Michigan is less than 30 minutes away, making Grand Rapids the perfect place to experience the night life of a city, but all the amenities of a big lake. And make no mistake, Lake Michigan is like an ocean, with waves and deep waters. With boating, swimming and skiing there is plenty to keep the whole family busy. Grand Rapids is a city that has truly won the hearts of its residents, and they do a wonderful job of spreading the good news! Come and see why 200,000 people have made this place their home, and don't plan to ever leave!
