Elm Grove Add.
Solid value in a growing area
Median $275K·Walkability 6.3/10·Schools 4.5/10
You'll feel the pulse of the neighborhood the second you turn onto the tree-lined streets—this twenty-one-acre subdivision sits right in the heart of West Grand, where brick homes and corner shops create the kind of place that still somehow feels like a small town despite being minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. The lots run modest at about a tenth of an acre each, which means less lawn to tend and more time actually living here; restaurants cluster within steps, and Nagold Park sits just a short walk away for when you need green space. Seven parks lie within a mile, and the Grand River—accessible at Comstock Riverside Park for boating—feels close enough to matter without dominating the view.

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.
