Solid value in a growing area

The grid here is tight—lots run just under half an acre, which means mature trees and actual yards without the sprawl. Mission Plat sits eleven acres of modest, well-kept homes anchored by straightforward streets and the kind of neighborhood where a short walk lands you at a restaurant or two; a dozen within a mile speaks for itself. Downtown Grand Rapids pulls in at fourteen minutes by car, and the nearest transit stop is a two-minute walk if you need it. Homes run around $346K, and Kenowa Hills Public Schools serves the area.

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.
