Lamar Extension Plat
Solid value in a growing area
Median $233K·Walkability 4.5/10·Schools 4.7/10
You can walk to the grocery store and a restaurant without breaking a sweat—both within five minutes—which means the daily calculus of where to eat and what to cook actually changes. Lamar Extension Plat sits in the Wyoming Homesites Area, an 89-acre subdivision where the lots run about a third of an acre, homes hover around $237K, and you're eleven minutes from downtown Grand Rapids if you need the city proper. Three parks sit within a mile, including Ideal Park right next door, and the transit stop is a four-minute walk away. Kentwood Public Schools serves the area. The neighborhood has the density and foot traffic of an actual place—96 restaurants within a mile will do that—without feeling cramped; you've got reasonable land and reasonable access, which is the kind of balance that stops sounding rare the moment you live it.

Estimates use a 6.65% 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.
