Moving to East Grand Rapids

Before you begin your apartment search, you should know that location matters. You can find rental houses that are reasonably cheap in certain areas of East Grand Rapids, but many of the priciest homes and rental apartments are located near Reed's Lake.

Just imagine, the geese get to live near the lake for free, and don't even have to pay a dime in taxes!

How to Get There

Of course, you might want to seek some professional help for your move.

Some of the condos near the lake include air conditioning, water and heating in the rental price, but rents are usually higher in these buildings to begin with. There are also often pet-friendly apartments on the market if you want to make sure your beloved pet can make the trip with you.

Before You Sign That Contract

Brokers and landlords are often concerned with checking your background and income. That's why you'll have to provide pay stubs, a copy of your ID and possibly references from former landlords or even employers. Security deposits are also required for most properties.
