Stockings 2nd Add.
Strong schools draw families here
Median $279K·Walkability 6.4/10·Schools 4.5/10
People often picture West Grand as one sprawling afterthought, yet Stockings 2nd Add.—a 10-acre subdivision carved into the neighborhood's core—turns that expectation on its head with genuine proximity to what matters. Homes here run around $255K, and you're standing a few minutes' walk from a grocery, a restaurant, or a transit stop; downtown Grand Rapids sits just 6.5 minutes away by car, close enough that the commute barely registers. The neighborhood holds 150 restaurants within a mile—from taquerias to breweries—and Nagold Park lands a 10-minute walk off, one of nine parks tucked nearby. Lot sizes average 0.12 acres, so space is modest and intentional, the kind of density that lets you actually reach things without planning a trip. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and if you need to fly out, Gerald R. Ford Airport is under 24 minutes away. It's the sort of place where "close to downtown" isn't marketing speak—it's just how the geography works out.

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.
