Home construction started here in the 1960's housing boom in the Forest

Hills School District and has continued through to today. There are new

Mid-size homes with quality construction are the rule, this suburban sub-

division area has been a desirable  place to live in the Grand Rapids home

Terry and Bonnie--You guys do such a great job with your marketing reports for the communities in the Grand Rapids area. Glad to hear that there is a bit of a rebound for your area too. It will hopefully continue into 2010.
