The Villas at Rivertown
Grandville, Michigan · Kent County
The Villas at Rivertown is a community of 110 single-family attached resale homes in Grandville, Michigan, southwest of Grand Rapids in Kent County. It is listed by 55places.com on a dedicated 55+ community page and by activeadultliving.com under a condominium-communities category, both describing it as an active-adult-oriented community with low-maintenance living managed through an HOA. An official homeowners' association website, recorded plat restriction, or builder statement explicitly confirming a legally enforceable age restriction was not found, so The Villas at Rivertown is presented as an active-adult community whose legal age restriction is not independently verified rather than legally age-restricted, pending direct confirmation of governing documents.

Overview
Independent Assessment
The Villas at Rivertown is not treated as a 'confirmed' 55+ community. While 55places.com and activeadultliving.com both list the community in ways that suggest active-adult marketing, only directory-level sourcing was found -- no official HOA site, recorded declaration, or builder page was identified that explicitly states a legal age-restriction requirement. Directory categorization by aggregator sites, even specialized ones, is not treated as a genuinely confirming primary source on its own, particularly given documented cases of communities appearing on 55+ directories without an underlying legal restriction. Property-management contact information (Grandmark Property Management) and approximate HOA cost figures were identified, but the association's own governing documents could not be reached to verify the age requirement directly. Buyers should treat the 55+ positioning as a marketed lifestyle characteristic pending direct verification.

Restrictions
Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions
55places.com maintains a dedicated 55+ community page for The Villas at Rivertown, and activeadultliving.com lists it under a condominium-communities category for Grandville.

Pros & Tradeoffs
