Homes in the Northview Schools Area

This is the northeast quadrant — Plainfield Township and the city's northeast edge along the Grand River and the Plainfield Avenue corridor. It's an established area of detached single-family homes, closer to downtown than the outer townships and without the premium of the east-side districts. The trade is older housing stock in places, so the mechanicals conversation matters on the 1960s-80s homes.

Because 49505 straddles Northview and Grand Rapids Public Schools, the boundary lookup is the step I run on every address before a buyer treats Northview as a given.

Drawing on the broader northeast market, a 2-bed starter or older ranch runs about $220,000 to $275,000, a 3-bed ranch or split-level from the 1970s-90s $290,000 to $355,000, a 4-bed two-story or newer build $375,000 to $475,000, and riverfront or larger-acreage homes $500,000 to $700,000. The value here is a detached home a few minutes from downtown without the east-side premium.
