The tree-lined streets here feel removed from the city's pulse, yet downtown Grand Rapids is just 11.7 minutes away. Minor-Martin Plat sits within the Mary M. Bonnells Sub. Area, a 12-acre subdivision where lots average about half an acre—enough breathing room without sprawl. Homes cluster in the $1.1M range, and the East Grand Rapids Public Schools district serves the area. Reeds Lake is less than half a mile off, and there's serious density nearby: 84 restaurants and 24 grocery stores within a couple miles, most within a short walk. A transit stop sits five minutes on foot, John Collins Park is a 12-minute walk away, and seven parks fall within a mile radius. Gerald R. Ford International Airport is 16.6 minutes south.

For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Kent County.
Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Minor-Martin Plat home (around $2,550,000) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $458k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $17,176 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

| 10% (+PMI) | $19,769/mo | $527,183 |

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.
