C.H. Demings Add.
Strong schools draw families here
Median $303K·Walkability 6.9/10·Schools 9.0/10
The platted lots here average just under a third of an acre—small enough that you're not spending your whole weekend on yard work, but with enough space to breathe. It's a 7-acre subdivision where homes run around $379K, and you're about 20 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids when you want the city, or 10 minutes to Gerald R. Ford if you're catching a flight. There's a restaurant within a three-minute walk, and a dozen more within a mile, so you're not starving for options. Dutton Shadyside Park is a quick walk away if you need to get outside, and Caledonia Community Schools handles the education side. The area's car-dependent by design—your nearest coffee shop is a couple miles out—but that's typical for this part of West Michigan, and it comes with the trade-off of having actual land instead of townhouses stacked on top of each other.

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.
