Plaster Creek winds through Ken-O-Sha Park just a short walk from these homes, where the trail system and that famous wooden Amplifier draw neighbors out year-round. The subdivision itself spans 20 acres of mid-century ranch and raised ranch homes, with lots averaging 0.60 acres—enough breathing room without sprawl. Median home values run around $382K, and you're roughly 12 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and 15 minutes to Gerald R. Ford airport, which means the commute doesn't eat your day.

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.
