Countryside living in West Michigan
Blendon Township offers countryside living away from the highways and cities of West Michigan. Backroads connect the farms, ranches and rural getaways. “A lot of the farmland is selling now to developers — mostly small developments,” says Nick Holtrop, a local Realtor who grew up just next door in Blendon. “It’s agricultural, though. We’re definitely seeing an influx of people, but Blendon’s still very much a farm community. You know your neighbors well, people are hospitable and there’s tons of privacy.” A few developments, like Eagle’s Landing, showcase new homes in small communities. Homebuyers can also find new, custom homes on multiacre lots. These one-of-a-kind properties are private oases away from downtown Grand Rapids. “I think the biggest appeal is just getting out. Post-COVID, it’s blowing up out here because everyone wants their little piece of paradise on a couple of acres with a private drive,” Holtrop says. “People want more space now than ever.”
From 1900s farmhouses to New Traditional properties
Homebuyers can find farmhouses in Blendon Township that date back as early as 1900. However, many properties began to crop up in the late 1950s, into the ‘60s and ‘70s. Another wave of construction has brought new-build residences to Blendon, so between the area’s older Colonial Revivals, midcentury ranch-style homes and New Traditional new builds, there are a lot of options for folks to choose from. The median lot size is a little less than a half-acre, so folks have plenty of room to enjoy their own property and build out backyard entertainment frameworks. Overall list prices range from $276,000 to just under $1 million.
Athletics at Hudsonville High
Blendon Township is served by the Hudsonville Public School District, so resident students can start school at Bauer Elementary, rated with an A on Niche. Baldwin Street Middle also has an A-rating on Niche. For ninth grade, students can get to know their class and acclimate to high school at Hudsonville's Freshman Campus before moving on to Hudsonville High, which educates grades 10 through 12. This high school has an A-minus on Niche and is ranked No. 6 on Niche's list of Ottawa County's best public high schools. Students here can enrich their school days with varsity sports like ice hockey, basketball, golf and field hockey.
Allendale Community Park
Despite all the abundant greenery in Blendon, there are no public parks in the township proper. That said, less than 10 miles up the road, Allendale Community Park offers plenty of recreational amenities. Kids can also tire themselves out on the park's playground.
Downtown Hudsonville
The heart of Blendon Township is just over 5 miles from downtown Hudsonville, so to reach commercial areas with convenient stores — like Grocery Outlet, Tractor Supply and Gemmen's Ace Hardware — residents don't have to go far. Hudsonville also has some great local restaurants, such as Licari's Sicilian Pizza Kitchen, a family-owned staple with a menu of authentic Italian cuisine. And for delicious home-brewed cider, Farmhouse Cider Company has quickly made itself a community favorite.
TeArvest Farms and DeLange's Redberry Farm
The rolling farmland and lushness of Blendon don't only make for scenic drives around the township. When it comes to fresh produce, residents are spoiled for choice. TeArvest Farms is a pop-up market that has everything folks could want from a farm stand with all the in-season fruits and veggies as well as baked goods and, occasionally, other treats as well — all sourced from local farms, such as Post Family Farm. Post Family Farm sits just down the street, spanning 80 acres that are always abuzz in the fall when the pumpkin patch is open, and homemade donuts are flying off the shelves. On the other side of town, folks can get their hands a little dirty and pick their own strawberries and raspberries at DeLange's Redberry Farm.
Country backroads and Interstate 196
Blendon Township is car-dependent, its predominately agricultural landscape striped by narrow backroads. Major thoroughfares aren't too far, however. Folks can access Interstate 196 less than 10 miles south of the community, and Lake Michigan Drive is about the same distance due north. “You’re in the country, but you’re close to really anything and everything,” Holtrop says. “20 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, from Lake Michigan, Holland, the beach — all that. It’s actually pretty centrally located between Grand Rapids and the lake shore.”
