Whalen Acres Plat
Solid value in a growing area
Median $304K·Walkability 5.5/10·Schools 4.1/10
Whalen Acres sits on just four acres in the Whalen Eardley Ranch Sites Area, where modest lot sizes—averaging a fifth of an acre—pack a lot of convenience into tight quarters. A transit stop is a two-minute walk away, and Jackson Park lands eight minutes on foot, so there's real access without sprawl. The median home here runs around $313K, and you're looking at Wyoming Public Schools for the district. Downtown Grand Rapids is a straightforward ten-minute drive, and the airport sits about twenty minutes out if you're heading that way. What really matters is the everyday stuff: sixty-six restaurants within walking distance, eighteen grocery stores within two miles, and a coffee shop just over a mile down the road. It's the kind of footprint where you can stay put or slip out just as easily.

Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
