Bayak Plat
Surrounded by nature
Median $385K·Walkability 5.9/10·Schools 4.4/10
...so you've got Bayak Plat sitting right in the heart of Fulton Heights, this eight-acre platted subdivision where the lots run tight—about a fifth of an acre each—and the whole thing's stacked with older homes that actually have character. You're a seven-minute walk from groceries, three minutes to dinner, and surrounded by over two hundred restaurants within a mile, which sounds wild until you realize you're basically on top of Grand Rapids' most walkable stretch. Hillcrest Park is a six-minute walk away, and if you want to paddle, Comstock Riverside Park's launch is just three miles out.

Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Bayak Plat home (around $385,000) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $69k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,593 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

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.
