Michigan Color Tour
Michigan autumn is an very colorful time of our year.
The lush greens of summer make way for the crisp, clear
firestorm of autumn color here in Grand Rapids Michigan.
The yellows gleam in the sunlight and trees with their autumn
foliage beckon to us…..see me, see how gorgeous I am.
I have to agree, they call out to have their photo taken before
they undress for winter. Here are trees from our own
neighborhood in all their fall finery.

I love the movement of these fall grasses
This is a common sight this week, a lawn coated with leaves
This majestic oak tree will be the last tree to lose its leaves

Stone Falls of Ada ~ New Apartment Complex Update ~ Ada, Michigan
UPDATE: The Stone Falls of Ada Apartment complex has went up fast.
Our last post was in June. The units are up and some are occupied. Not
all units are completed yet. In the short video here, you can see the
approach to Stone Falls of Ada on Spaulding Ave and just how big this
complex is. There was a little excitement a few weeks ago when an empty
unit caught fire, the damage can be seen on our video tour.
I am leaving my original post, so you can the how fast the project has
went up.
Stone Falls of Ada Apartments
Original Post about Stone Falls of Ada:
A new 210 unit luxury apartment complex is taking shape in Ada, Michigan.
The new complex, named Stone Falls of Ada, is scheduled to be completed
in spring 2009. The Dayton Ohio based group that is constructing the
development, the Miller-Valentine Group,and their partners, Boston based
Cross Harbor Capital Partners LLC reports that the complex will have one,
two, and three bedroom apartments ranging in size from 856 square
feet to 1460 square feet. The location of the project is on the east side
of Spaulding Avenue just south of Fulton Street.
As you can see, construction is well under way. The buildings in the far
background are the Townhouses and condominiums of Clements Mill. This
part of the Clements Mill project was sold to be completed as apartment
dwellings. This is a fairly new feature in Ada Township.
Prior to this development 98 per cent of the homes in Ada Township were
single family residences. There are a lot of apartments in the Grand Rapids
area but very few in Ada. It will be interesting to see if Ada is attractive to
renters.

Real Estate Market Report – Ada, MI ~ Clements Mill ~ Nov 2008
Clements Mill is a newer home development built by Eastbrook
Construction in the Ada MI area, started in 1999 and completed in
2003. Apart from newer homes, part of the appeal is the proximity
of Forest Hills Central Middle and High Schools, Forest Hills
Woodlands 5/6 School, St Roberts & Ada Christian Schools, which
are within walking distance.
Clements Mill is midway between the Village of Ada and Forest Hills
shopping area at Cascade Road and Forest Hills.
Ada’s Clements Mill has seen steady to declining values in the short
time it has been built out. This is largely due to the current over
abundance of houses for sale in a soft resale market.
