Matkovich Sub
Quiet lots near top schools
Median $414K·Walkability 0.7/10·Schools 8.0/10
What catches people off guard about Matkovich Sub is how much breathing room 16 acres can hold—each lot averages 0.60 acres, so you're not stacked on top of neighbors, but you're not out in the country either. It sits within Szopinskis Supervisors Plat No 1 Area, a pocket of West Michigan where you can reach Grand Haven's beach in about 14 minutes, or downtown Grand Rapids in just over 40. Homes here run around $533K, and they're served by Spring Lake Public Schools. Four parks sit within a mile, with an unnamed park a short walk away, and Connor Bayou lies 1.7 miles south if you want water access without living right on it. The grocery store is about 4 miles out, a tradeoff that comes with the quieter, more spread-out feel of the place.

Ottawa County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Matkovich Sub home (around $413,500) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $73k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,750 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

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.
