Slayton & Vanderveens Add
Lake life, small town feel
Median $380K·Walkability 5.8/10·Schools 5.3/10
This stretch on the west side sits in the thick of things—Johnston Park is practically a two-minute walk away, and downtown Grand Haven's waterfront and beaches land just under two minutes by car. You've got a solid roster of neighborhood spots within easy reach: a grocery store and coffee shop each about eight minutes on foot, a restaurant scene with nearly 200 options within a mile, and 22 parks scattered through the surrounding area. The lots run modest at around a quarter-acre, which means less land to manage but plenty of density to support the kind of street-level retail and dining that keeps things humming. Homes here trend toward character—original hardwood, updated kitchens with quality finishes, thoughtful renovations that respect the bones—and you're close enough to downtown that walking to dinner or catching the Lake Michigan breeze feels doable without overthinking it. Grand Haven Area Public Schools serves the area, and from here, downtown Grand Rapids sits about 45 minutes out.

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.
