Great schools with outdoor access
Median $334K·Walkability 4.5/10·Schools 7.0/10
...so you've got this small, tidy subdivision on the south side—five acres, the kind of place where the lots run a quarter-acre each and homes sit around $335K. It's part of the Douglas Add. Area, which means you're close enough to downtown Grand Rapids that a 15-minute drive gets you there, but far enough out that you can actually breathe. The nearest restaurant is an 11-minute walk, and there are 168 within a mile if you're tired of your own kitchen, while a coffee shop sits about a mile away for the mornings you need it. Kenowa Lake is less than a mile off, and Heritage Park—where you could walk in ten minutes—gives you some green space without having to go far. Grandville Public Schools serves the area, and if you care about getting out on the water, Grandville Launch is just over a mile away for boats. Gerald R. Ford airport runs about 27 minutes out if you're the type who travels.

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.
