Fountain Plat No.1
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $340K·Walkability 5.9/10·Schools 7.1/10
Driving through Fountain Plat No.1 feels like landing in a pocket of compact convenience—4 acres of modest, well-spaced homes where most lots run a quarter-acre, and you're downtown Grand Rapids in just 13 minutes if you need it. A restaurant is literally steps away, and there's a transit stop at your doorstep, which means the car doesn't have to be your answer to everything, even though 36 restaurants and six grocery stores within a mile give you plenty of reasons to get out anyway. Grandville Public Schools serves the area, and Peck Street Park is an easy walk for a quick outdoor break. Homes here run around $337,000, with the airport about 25 minutes out if you need it. It's the kind of place where you're close enough to everything that matters without feeling squeezed in.

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.
