South Garden Park
Solid value in a growing area
Median $228K·Walkability 6.7/10·Schools 3.3/10
South Garden Park spreads across 38 acres of modest lots—averaging 0.19 acres each—where homes cluster around $223K and put you downtown Grand Rapids in about 9 minutes. What you don't get is sprawl; what you do get is proximity: groceries, restaurants, and a transit stop all within steps, which means errands don't require much planning. The nearest coffee shop is close enough that you won't overthink it, and if you want to walk to Home Acres Park, it's a 9-minute stroll away. Kelloggsville Public Schools serves the area, and the subdvision sits within the Roselawn Park Area, where 66 restaurants and 54 grocery stores cluster within a mile or two—practical abundance without pretense. That 16-minute shot to Gerald R. Ford Airport doesn't hurt either, especially if travel matters to you.

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.
