You're about a mile from Reeds Lake and 13 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which means you get the breathing room of a residential plat without the suburban feeling of being cut off—you can grab coffee in 12 minutes, dinner in 8, or groceries even faster. The subdivision itself spans 101 acres with Colonial and Traditional brick and wood-siding homes that run around $797K, built on tight lots (0.29 acres average) that pack a real neighborhood density. East Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and you've got two parks within a mile plus John H. Bonnell Park just a short walk away. The location in the Meyering Land Co. Lake Drive Estates Sub. Area puts you within reach of 72 restaurants and 42 grocery stores across a two-mile radius—that's the real draw, the kind of density that means you're not planning trips, you're just living.

For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Kent County.
Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Ravenswood Plat home (around $839,900) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $149k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $5,586 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

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.
