Cascade Woods is an established neighborhood of large, executive
style homes in Cascade Township, MI. Most of these homes were
built in the 1960’s and 1970’s, although there are a few newer
homes that were built recently in the area. Close to the village of
Cascade and the Thornapple River, this heavily wooded area has
been a Grand Rapids desired suburban place to live for decades.
Part of the Forest Hills School District, which draws many families,
there is also the river and it’s picturesque appeal. The drive down
Thornapple River Drive between Ada and Cascade in the fall is one
of the prettiest drives in the greater Grand Rapids area.

per SqFt and the Active listings Price /SqFt seem to be aligned. It could
be home condition which is slowing the sales in this area of older homes.
Today’s buyers do not want to do ANY updates, which includes painting,
new kitchens & baths, new flooring. If your Cascade Woods home hasn’t
sold, it is probably condition, which gets us back to price. If you don’t
want to improve your home, you won’t get the same price as people who
have updated and kept their home current.
