Garden Farm Add.
Walkable and connected
Median $244K·Walkability 6.2/10·Schools 3.8/10
The first thing you should know: you're ten minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, but you won't feel it—the subdivision sits on 37 acres of modest lots (about a third acre each) where the pace is residential and decidedly local. Homes here run around $239K, which buys you proximity without the price tag of the city proper. Transit is literally steps away, and so is South Lawn Park, which anchors the neighborhood's green space; four more parks sit within a mile. Grocery stores and restaurants are everywhere—48 of each within reasonable distance, with a coffee shop a three-minute walk and dinner options even closer—but the real character lives in the everyday smallness: the kind of place where errands are easy and you're not fighting traffic to grab what you need. Kelloggsville Public Schools handles K–12, and the subdivision itself is part of the larger Godwin Heights Add. Area, one of those quietly sensible West Michigan neighborhoods that doesn't announce itself but doesn't need to.

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.
