Kentwood Michigan – Crystal Springs Neighborhood Real Estate Market Report Aug 2009

Kentwood Michigan  – Crystal Springs Neighborhood Real Estate Market Report Aug 2009

Crystal Springs Development in Caledonia, Michigan is a large,

residential suburban housing development that was started in the late 1980’s.

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.

Look Mom, We’re in the Movies!

Look Mom, We’re in the Movies!

Movie-making has been going strong in Grand Rapids, Michigan this summer.

We have been on a movie set as extras in a major motion picture filming here in

Grand Rapids and Lowell.

The generous tax incentives that Michigan has offered the film industry to make

their films here is starting to pay off.  Local caterers, local actors, and local crew

are being hired for the filming of The Genesis Code, a hockey themed movie starring

Academy Award winners, Ernest Borgnine & Louise Fletcher ( Nurse Ratched fame),

and former Presidential candidate, Fred Thompson.

Follow the yellow sign

The production company needed a hundred + extras for a scene in a church.

We are in the pews, singing (actually miming the words only) and listening to the sermon.

Not tough work, for sure, although it was a warm summer day, no air-conditioning,

a church full of people & lights, and we  were dressed in winter clothes for a Christmas scene.

The magic of movies.  We noted fake snow around the

small pond, too, when we walked out for lunch.

The whole production was fascinating to observe.  We were made comfortable

in a nearby lounge at Calvin College, until we were lined up and put in the chapel pews.

The art of film was evident at close inspection.  Stained glass windows were in the fron

to the chapel.  The art dept had made paper to fit the side windows that matched the

stained glass up front, mainly to control the amount of light coming in.

The crew and production staff were always busy and bustling around.

Everyone seemed to have a walkie-talkie and an ear-bud to keep connected and

keep the production flowing smoothly.  They all seemed to possess the talent of

listening and talking to more than 1 person at a time.


About an hour of filming the same scene each time, from different angles, and 10 hours

later, we were done!  Our scene will probably be about 3-4 minutes in length.  I have

a whole new appreciation for a film crew and what it takes to make a full length feature.

We were given a box lunch and treats in between.  No pay but we might just make it through

editing and be in a major motion picture.

Here are a few pictures from our seat in the ”extra” spot.

I don’t imagine the film crew gets their picture taken very often.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dt_u8qa16U&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0]

We might be going to one of the hockey arena shoots this weekend.

It is nearby but they are filming from 5pm to 5am.  Not sure we can make it through

that time frame – even if we sleep in our seats!!

The total square footage is noted here, although only the

main floors are used to figure price per square foot.  The

lowest prices/Sq Ft range from $30.19 to $64.47 in

Kentwood this month.

Homes on the list this month are still at bargain prices, with

most at less than $60 a square foot.

Kentwood &  Wyoming have been hit hard by the automotive

shutdowns  and subsequent job losses in these areas.

If you can afford to buy a home, fix it up and live in it for

10-15 years, you should be able to build equity.
