Martindale Park Add.
Surrounded by nature
Median $430K·Walkability 6.5/10·Schools 4.4/10
The lots here run tight—a quarter-acre at most—which means houses sit shoulder-to-shoulder along tree-lined streets, giving Martindale Park Add. the feel of an older, more compact neighborhood despite its modest seven-acre footprint within Fulton Heights. Homes median around $470K, and you're within a ten-minute walk of a grocery, coffee shop, or one of the 265 restaurants scattered throughout the surrounding area. Downtown Grand Rapids is seven minutes away by car, which makes the commute feel almost accidental. Transit is steps from most addresses here, and Wilcox Park sits just eight minutes on foot—one of nine parks within a mile. William C. Abney Academy serves the subdivision, and if you've got a dog, a dedicated dog park is a twelve-minute walk.

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.
