Avanti Plat
Solid value in a growing area
Median $375K·Walkability 5.5/10·Schools 4.1/10
You'll notice right away how much space you get here—twenty acres of Avanti Plat carved out with larger lots, the kind where you can actually breathe in a neighborhood that still feels connected to the city. Homes run around $397K, and they're a mix of styles—Ranches, Cape Cods, Colonials—mostly built back in the 1950s and '60s with the bones to prove it. You're in Shawmut Hills, where the trees are mature and the streets wind just enough to make a walk or jog feel like something more than routine; there are twenty-four restaurants within a mile and a grocery store a five-minute walk away, so you don't need much of an excuse to get out. Downtown Grand Rapids is just ten minutes off, and the Grand Rapids Public Schools serve the area. Shawmut Hills Park is about eleven minutes on foot, and you've got three parks within a mile if you want options.

Estimates use a 6.49% 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.
