North Shore Grand Haven Plat
Lake life, small town feel
Median $1.5M·Walkability 2.8/10·Schools 4.9/10
Driving through North Shore Grand Haven Plat, you feel the shoreline before you see it—the air shifts, the lots open up, and 48 acres of substantial homes on roughly 0.35-acre parcels create a rhythm that's neither dense nor sprawling. The beach is 13 minutes away, close enough that salt air drifts in during the right season, and Fishermens Park sits just a walk down the street. Walk out your door and you're surrounded: 36 restaurants within a mile, 18 grocery stores within two, a coffee shop about a 13-minute walk away. It's the kind of location where you can be in downtown Grand Rapids in just under an hour, but you're actually anchored to the water towns and their slower cadence. Grand Haven Area Public Schools serves the area, making this part of East Highland Park feel less like a suburban pocket and more like a deliberate choice to live near water and within reach of real amenities.

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.
