When you turn onto the quiet street lined with modest brick homes on quarter-acre lots, you're looking at a 36-acre subdivision that keeps things simple—no fuss, no sprawl. Homewood Park Plat sits in a zone where downtown Grand Rapids is just 13 minutes away by car, yet the neighborhood itself feels removed from that rush, with a transit stop practically at your front door and a restaurant a two-minute walk if you want to grab dinner without overthinking it. Lee Street Park is three minutes on foot, and you've got four parks within a mile, which matters when you want to stretch out without going far. Homes here run around $286K, and the lots—each about a fifth of an acre—give you room to breathe without the maintenance headache of something larger. Grandville Public Schools covers the area, and while the neighborhood itself isn't designed for miles of wandering, nearly 50 restaurants within a mile mean you've got options when hunger strikes.

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.
