7th Street Lofts
Walkable and connected
Median $419K·Walkability 6.7/10·Schools 4.3/10
A 1920 brick building with soaring arched windows and exposed wood beams, 7th Street Lofts sits on the northwest side of Grand Rapids where the horizon stays low and the air feels less rushed than downtown. Seventy units—ranging from one-bedroom at 800 square feet to four-bedroom homes over 2,300 square feet—fill the converted former warehouse, each one built with the kind of ceiling height and floor space that downtown condos stopped offering around the time someone decided to charge $500K for a shoebox. Ground-floor amenities include a coffee shop steps away, a fitness center, and a rooftop patio with a grill. Median price hovers around $603K.

Crime in 7th Street Lofts is reported at the city level, not the neighborhood level.

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.
