Maynard Plat
Walkable and connected
Median $360K·Walkability 6.4/10·Schools 4.2/10
Maynard Plat sits on twelve acres within Shawmut Hills, a residential corner of northwest Grand Rapids defined by winding streets and mature trees that turn brilliant in fall. The subdivision's half-acre lots are modest but spacious enough to breathe—a mix of ranch and Cape Cod homes built mostly in the nineteen-fifties and sixties, their front porches and brick faces still solid. Shawmut Park is a short walk away, and a grocery store sits two minutes on foot, which means running errands doesn't require a full expedition.

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.
