We have a list of the Top Best Buy East Grand Rapids Houses
to buy based on price/square foot. Price per square foot is a
great leveler. If two similar homes are listed at similar prices,
their price per square foot should be similar. It should reflect
the interior finish of the home.
For example, if it has crystal chandeliers, marble tile, a new
kitchen, this would be more value per square foot than a home
that still has the 1970’s decor and/or is in derelict condition.
Please note that this list can change daily as some homes sell, prices
are adjusted and other homes come on the market.
The total square footage is noted here, although only the main floors
are used to figure price per square foot.

We enjoy autumn in Michigan, it is one of our favorite seasons.
The fall colors, the crisp fall air, football games, crisp crunchy apples are
just a few of the wonderful things about fall in Michigan.
While the autumn colors on the trees are a thing of beauty, they quickly become
a much detested chore to clean up. Raking leaves on a beautiful fall day
is fun for about 30 minutes. On a blustery cold, rainy day, it is a miserable
chore, a never ending job to complete. The leaves fall like rain, and will
take a few days to 2 weeks to completely leave the trees.
If you live in the city of East Grand Rapids, Michigan, this isn’t such a
chore because the city takes away your leaves for you. All you
have to do is get them to the curb.
As you can see in these photos of a few streets in East Grand Rapids, many
leaves are at the curb, ready to be picked up and composted. A sure sign of
fall in these neighborhoods.
