Longview Plat
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $975K·Walkability 3.0/10·Schools 8.0/10
You're minutes from Grand Haven's shoreline—about a 10-minute drive gets you there—and Longview Plat sits on 37 acres of carefully plotted land where lots average just under half an acre each. The subdivision's location in the West Highlands Area puts you within reach of 18 restaurants and a dozen grocery stores spread across a mile or two, so running errands doesn't feel like an expedition. Homes here run around $749K, and they're served by Spring Lake Public Schools. Downtown Grand Rapids is about 40 minutes away, but the real draw is how close you are to actual waterfront—Spring Lake itself sits less than a mile south, and Petty's Bayou Public Access is a short walk if you want to get outside without fussing with the car.

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.
