Devries 4th Add.
Walkable and connected
Median $250K·Walkability 6.8/10·Schools 4.5/10
Devries 4th Add. sits on 4 acres in West Grand, where you're surrounded by 72 restaurants within a mile—so close that the nearest one is literally steps away—yet the whole subdivision feels compressed into a tight, walkable grid of modest lots averaging just 0.12 acres each. Homes here run around $196K, and the Grand Rapids Public Schools district serves the area. What makes this pocket special isn't space; it's access. A transit stop is a 3-minute walk, downtown Grand Rapids is about 7 minutes by car, and Sullivan Field park is a quick 9-minute stroll. There are six parks within a mile, 30 grocery stores within two, and enough dining density that you could eat somewhere different every night without leaving the neighborhood. The real draw is being embedded in a place where errands and restaurants are genuinely at hand, and the car-optional moments add up fast.

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.
