Simon Farm Plat
Solid value in a growing area
Median $372K·Walkability 1.3/10·Schools 7.8/10
You're looking at an 11-acre subdivision where lots average about half an acre—enough room to breathe without the sprawl of bigger developments. It's part of Byron Oaks No. 2 Area, so you're in a quieter corner of the region, though downtown Grand Rapids is only about 19 minutes away when you need it. Grandville Public Schools serves the area. There's a coffee shop less than a mile off, a restaurant about 1.5 miles down the road, and Kent Trails park about 1.6 miles away if you want to get outside—the kind of proximity that means you're not isolated but you're not on top of everything either.

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.
