Meadowlawn Plat No.1
Solid value in a growing area
Median $323K·Walkability 4.2/10·Schools 5.1/10
The mail arrives at the end of tree-lined streets where modest ranch and colonial homes sit on quarter-acre lots, their driveways angling toward garages that face the quiet grid of Meadowlawn Plat No. 1. This 14-acre subdivision within the Summer Woods Area carries the understated order of mid-20th-century planning—compact, levelheaded, close enough to what matters. A restaurant and coffee shop are both within a short walk, and Summerwood Park sits just six minutes away on foot if anyone needs grass and trees. The nearest transit stop is two minutes down the block, which means downtown Grand Rapids and Gerald R. Ford airport are each about 14 minutes by car. Homes run around $274K, and they're served by Kentwood Public Schools, with 42 restaurants and 54 groceries scattered within a couple of miles—the practical abundance that comes with being close to a regional center without feeling swallowed by it.

Estimates use a 6.65% 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.
