Walkable near top schools
Median $350K·Walkability 7.7/10·Schools 4.1/10
The thing that sticks about Davidson Plat. is how compressed it all is—seven acres of early-twentieth-century homes wedged so tight that a coffee shop is a two-minute walk away, and you can hit a restaurant in the same breath. The subdivision sits in Midtown, where 343 dining options live within a mile and the nearest grocery is a six-minute stroll. Transit is practically on your doorstep; the nearest stop is two minutes away. You're four and a half minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which means you can keep your life local without feeling landlocked.

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.
