Marway Plat
Surrounded by nature
Median $340K·Walkability 1.1/10·Schools 7.0/10
The grid here runs quiet and orderly, the kind of platted subdivision where the streets actually connect and you can see how things fit together. Marway Plat sits on 27 acres in the Westgate Meadows Area, about 16 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, making it close enough for work without feeling like you're in the city. Homes run around $340K, and the schools feed into Comstock Park Public Schools. Two parks sit within a mile, with Wahlfield County Park about a 15-minute walk away if you want something bigger. The nearest grocery is 2.2 miles out, a restaurant about 1.7 miles—close enough that you're not isolated, but far enough that the area keeps its suburban breathing room. Gerald R. Ford Airport runs about 31 minutes south if you need it.

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.
