The moment you turn onto Original Plat, you're a five-minute walk from the Grand Haven Channel—close enough to smell the water if the wind's right. This 108-acre subdivision sits at the intersection of Washington Avenue and North 2nd Street, where a grocery, a coffee shop, and some 186 restaurants within a mile mean you're never more than steps from lunch. Homes here run contemporary concrete construction on tight lots averaging 0.15 acres. The area scores well for errands and dining (8 and 10 out of 10, respectively), and Depot Pavilion sits a four-minute walk away if you need to stretch. Kids attend Grand Haven Area Public Schools, while downtown Grand Rapids is about 44 minutes north—far enough to feel separate, close enough to matter. The beach itself is 42 seconds away by car, which is the kind of proximity that either anchors your whole life here or drives you crazy depending on who you are.

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.
