Median $390K·Walkability 7.9/10·Schools 3.6/10
Heagle Plat is a four-acre subdivision in Alger Heights where you can walk to groceries, coffee, and dinner in about two minutes—which matters because there are 36 restaurants within a mile and the dining score maxes out at 10. Homes sit on tight lots averaging 0.14 acres, the kind of footprint that keeps the neighborhood compact and the streets walkable; median home value runs around $291K. The subdivision borders an unnamed park, and there are 14 parks total within a mile if you need more space to spread out. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, downtown is 11 minutes by car, and a transit stop is a two-minute walk away—which means you can live here without treating your car like a necessity.

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.
