Kennedys Add.
Strong schools draw families here
Median $309K·Walkability 5.5/10·Schools 8.0/10
Early evening light here hits the modest brick and ranch homes of this four-acre subdivision just right—catching the street trees and softening the ordinariness into something worth noticing. Kennedys Add. sits in the Kennedys Add. Area, where quarter-acre lots and homes around $329K mean you're close enough to things that matter: a restaurant is a three-minute walk away, a grocery store about twelve minutes on foot, and Caledonia Lakeside County Park—with its lake access and trails—takes eight minutes. Downtown Grand Rapids is 27.5 minutes by car, and Gerald R. Ford Airport is just over twelve. The neighborhood has five parks within a mile and thirty restaurants scattered nearby, plus Emmons Lake a half-mile off if you want actual water. Caledonia Community Schools serves the area. It's the kind of place where you're not paying for views or status, just proximity and a solid foundation—which turns out to be exactly enough.

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.
