Anthony Matzens Sub
Solid value in a growing area
Median $258K·Walkability 5.8/10·Schools 4.8/10
The first thing you notice pulling into Anthony Matzens Sub is the lot sizes—each one roughly a quarter acre, which means houses sit close enough to see your neighbor's kitchen light but far enough that you're not borrowing sugar every week. This five-acre platted subdivision sits in the Harding Estates Area of West Michigan, just 8.7 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, where the commute is short enough that you don't waste your life in traffic but far enough that home prices stay reasonable—medians hover around $274K. The bones of the neighborhood are practical: a grocery store is a two-minute walk, transit stops within five minutes, and 120 restaurants within a mile, so you've got options for both Tuesday night and takeout emergencies. Schools feed into Grand Rapids Public Schools. The nearest dog park is a 14-minute walk, the unnamed park about twelve, and Comstock Riverside Park Launch sits just over a mile away if you're into boats instead of barking.

Estimates use a 6.65% 30-year fixed rate (current Freddie Mac average), an aggressive ~45% housing-to-income ratio (roughly what FHA underwriting can allow for a buyer with no other monthly debts — your number depends on your debts and credit), this area's median sale price, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
