Sunny Side Plat
Surrounded by nature
Median $365K·Walkability 3.4/10·Schools 4.9/10
Sunny Side Plat feels like walking distance matters here—you're a two-minute stroll from Sunnyside Park, and there are a dozen more parks packed within a mile, which means green space isn't something you plan around, it's just part of the rhythm. The subdivision sits on ten acres with smaller lots, homes run around $297K, and you've got sixty-six restaurants within a mile and a grocery within less than a mile, so errands don't require much thinking. Grand Haven's beaches are just under six minutes away—close enough that you could reasonably grab coffee and be watching the water in ten minutes, though the nearest café is about fifteen minutes on foot. West MI Academy of Arts and Academics serves the area, and downtown Grand Rapids is under forty-five minutes if you need it, but the real draw here is density done right—you're not in the middle of nowhere, you're actually surrounded by things, and Spring Lake sits about a mile and a half over if you want that kind of afternoon.

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.
