Plaza Towers Condominium
Walkable and connected

—so you're right in the thick of it at Plaza Towers. You're literally steps from restaurants and a transit stop, which means you can ditch the car most days if you want. Coffee's a three-minute walk, and there are something like 450 restaurants within a mile, so the idea of eating at home is more of a suggestion than a requirement. The grocery store is about a 13-minute walk, and there are 36 within two miles, so you've got options depending on what you need. The dog park is nine minutes away if you've got a four-legged roommate. What makes it really click is that you're on three acres with Riverwalk Trails Park literally next door, and there are 28 parks within a mile—so you get space and access without feeling like you're trading one for the other. Transit and fitness amenities both rate at 8/10 and 10/10 respectively, which translates to getting around being genuinely easy. The drive to downtown Grand Rapids is barely noticeable at 1.6 minutes, and you're about 22 minutes from Gerald R. Ford Airport when you need it. Homes here run in the mid-to-upper range, and Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. If you're into the water, the boat launch at Butterworth Park is just over a mile away, so that's there if you want it.

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.
