residential suburban housing development that was started in the

late 1980’s and most construction was finished in the 1990’s although

some newer homes have been built since 2000. There are also a few

vacant lots left to develop.

This development covers a large area around the Stonewater Golf

Course at Crystal Springs south of 68th Street to 72nd Street and

encompassing Kalamazoo Avenue on the east and west.  This

development has single family homes and condos, many located

right on the Stonewater Golf Course. 

The public school system is Kentwood, even though the address is

Caledonia.

Crystal Springs is close to the shopping plaza at 68th and

Kalamazoo, Kentwood High School, and a short hop to M-6, which is

the south beltline for the Greater Grand Rapids area connecting US

131 on the west and I96 on the east side of the city.

per square foot around $100 are selling in under 3 months. 

Many sellers have retired from the market and will try again in

the spring.  They might find a better buying market, but prices are

still on the downward trend.  With lower interest rates, this may

spur the local economy and put more buyers into the game.
