Kentwood MI Top Best Buy Homes August 2010 We have listed the TOP Best Buy Kentwood Michigan Houses to buy, based on price per square foot.   Price per square foot is a great leveler.  If two similar homes are listed at similar prices, their price per square foot should be similar.     The price should reflect the interior finish of the  home.   For example, if the home has crystal chandeliers, marble tile, new windows, new mechanicals & a new kitchen, this would be more per square foot than a home that still has pre-1980’s accoutrements, decor and/or is in poor condition.   August 2010  29  TOP BEST BUYS in  Kentwood MI Homes Lowest prices/Sq Ft range from $36.06 to $58.97 in Kentwood  this month.

New Kentwood MI Library Set to Open 8-24-2010 Construction is almost done on the new library for Kentwood Michigan. We stopped and took a few photos so you can see the new facility for the city of Kentwood.      Having been on hand to help move the books and materials from the old library into the present facility back in ‘70s as a Kentwood Jaycee, we realize what a job it is to get everything moved and into place. The new library will be a welcome addition  for Kentwood.  Our libraries are getting more use with the strained economy – all branches are noting increased traffic and use.  An Open House is scheduled for 8-23-2010  so get over to see Kentwood’s newest addition.   08/12/2010

They didn't know for sure either, but to be on the safe side, assessed  t... 08/01/2009
