Stiles Plat No. 1
Solid value in a growing area
Median $260K·Walkability 5.3/10·Schools 4.6/10
Stiles Plat No. 1 sits in the Northeast area with the kind of setup where you're eight minutes from downtown Grand Rapids without hitting much traffic, but far enough out that homes run around $257K and you actually get land—quarter-acre lots, room for a driveway and garage. The neighborhood has a mix of 1940s and 1960s single-family homes with wooded yards, and Ball Perkins Park sits less than a mile away with trails through old-growth trees where you'll spot deer and wild turkeys without much effort. You've got a grocery store about a 12-minute walk and over 100 restaurants within a mile, which means the Northeast's reputation for craft breweries and good food isn't just talk—it's next door. Lighthouse Academy handles schools for the area, and the local neighborhood association stays active, so there's actual groundwork holding things together rather than just houses scattered around.

Estimates use a 6.67% 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.
