Eastwood Gardens
Walkable and connected
Median $273K·Walkability 6.4/10·Schools 4.7/10
Stepping through Eastwood Gardens feels like moving through a tight grid where everything clusters close—you're never more than a few steps from coffee, a meal, or a bus stop, which is the whole point of a 22-acre subdivision wedged into Creston. The lots run about 0.14 acres each, modest and efficient, the kind of footprint that lets the neighborhood lean hard into walkable errands and a restaurant scene that has over 100 options within a mile. Homes here run around $258K, and they're positioned eight minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, with Gerald R. Ford Airport just over twenty minutes away. Wellspring Preparatory High School serves the area, and Ball Perkins Park sits less than a mile out if you need green space without the hike.

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.
