Median $238K·Walkability 4.8/10·Schools 5.5/10
It's tight here—eight acres of modest homes on small lots where you're not paying for elbow room but for proximity to everything that actually matters. Homes run around $213K, and you're eleven minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which means your commute doesn't eat your life. A restaurant sits a four-minute walk away, a coffee shop five minutes past that, and Dwight Lydell County Park is practically your backyard at a two-minute stroll; within a mile, there are four parks and ninety-six dining options, so you won't run out of places to grab dinner or take the kids outside. The nearest grocery is under a mile, and if boating appeals to you, Comstock Riverside Park Launch sits about two and a half miles out. Schools feed into Comstock Park Public Schools, and while transit is thirteen minutes on foot, most errands don't need a car when convenience this dense is the whole point of living here.

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.
