Van Den Berge'S Plat
Walkable and connected
Median $310K·Walkability 6.5/10·Schools 4.6/10
—and what really gets you about Van Den Berge's Plat is how compact it all feels without being cramped. You're sitting on four acres of platted lots averaging a thirteenth of an acre each, homes around $355K, but a transit stop is literally steps away, and a grocery is right there too. Dining is everywhere—150 restaurants within a mile, and you could name half of them walking out your door. There's a coffee shop about seven minutes on foot, Rosa Parks Green for quick outdoor time, and 15 parks spread across the mile radius. Black River Public School serves the area. It's the Columbia Avenue & State Street Area kind of setup where you can actually get somewhere without a car sitting idle in the driveway, and when the beach at Grand Haven calls on a weekend, it's just over half an hour away.

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.
