Is 742 W Kilgore Road #108 a good lock-and-leave condo for people who travel?
Yes. 742 W Kilgore Road #108 is about 8 minutes (3.9 miles) from Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport, and the association takes care of the exterior, lawn and snow, so you can lock the door and go. It is a one-level, 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo in Kensington Place Condominiums with an enclosed garage stall, listed at $109,914.

Maybe you're on the road for work a few days a month, or you finally have time to visit the grandkids, take the trip or chase the sun in February. The last thing you want is a house that needs you every time you leave: grass to mow, snow to shovel and an exterior to keep up with.
That's why I love 742 W Kilgore Road #108 for people who travel. It's simple to leave and easy to come home to, and the airport is almost around the corner.
The association keeps up the grounds at Kensington Place while you are away.
About 8 minutes to the airport
I mapped it, and the drive from the condo to Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport (AZO) is about 8 minutes, or 3.9 miles. That's an early flight without a 4 a.m. alarm, and a late arrival home without a long drive at the end of a long day.
If you'd rather take the train or bus, the Kalamazoo Transportation Center downtown is about 9 minutes away. For bigger trips, Gerald R. Ford International in Grand Rapids is a little over an hour, and Detroit Metro is about 2 hours and 20 minutes.
The outside is handled while you're gone
The $326 monthly association fee covers water and sewer, trash, exterior maintenance, lawn care and snow removal. So when you're away, the lawn still gets mowed and the walks still get cleared. You come home to the same tidy entry you left. For the full breakdown, see What Does the $326 Condo Fee Cover at 742 W Kilgore Road?
Park it, lock it, go
Your car waits in an enclosed garage stall with extra storage instead of sitting under a pile of snow. When you get home, you walk in through your private patio entry, a few exterior steps from the sidewalk, and everything is on one level: in-unit laundry, a low-threshold shower and two bedrooms.

Easy days at home, too
Between trips, Kensington Place gives you a pool, fitness center and clubhouse, and pets are allowed. You're right at Kilgore and Westnedge, close to groceries, restaurants and shopping, with Kalamazoo Metro bus service nearby. You can see the amenities in What Do a Private Garage, Pool, and Exercise Room Add?
A Friday flight from Kilgore Road
Picture it. You finish your workday, toss a bag in the car, pull out of the garage and you're at AZO about 8 minutes later. While you're gone, the association keeps up the grounds. Sunday night you land, drive home, park inside and walk through your own patio door. Nothing is waiting for you but your own bed.
