GRANDVILLE, Mich. - It's a special day in Grandville. Residents are moving in to the Grand Castle.
The castle seen off of 28th Street, Wilson Avenue, and I-196 officially saw the first residents move in on Friday.
The 510-unit community includes apartments from studios to multi-level penthouses. The castle includes a ten-story tower, a pool, lakefront access, a full fitness center, walking/biking trails, and more.
Everyone has an opinion about it, but love it or hate it the Grand Castle Apartments are here to stay. It resembles the Disneyland Castle which is modeled after a castle in Germany.
The unique structure is proving to be a big draw for people wanting to live somewhere a little different.
“It’s not like you’re in a dungeon you’re in a luxury apartment. You can see the castle for miles away and getting to say that you live in a castle is kind of a once in a lifetime opportunity," says Matt Conflitti, new resident of 'Grand Castle Apartments'.
Residents don't even need keys for their new homes, they can opt for a security feature that uses facial recognition to open doors. Studios start at $700 and people wanting to live the high life can live in the penthouses which can go for as much as $4,500.
Work on the units is still ongoing. Only the first level is currently available for moving in, but the rest should be ready in the coming weeks.
