Aikins Add.
Walkable and connected
Median $200K·Walkability 6.5/10·Schools 3.9/10
This five-acre platted subdivision sits right at the edge of Seeds of Promise, where you're close enough to downtown Grand Rapids to grab coffee and be back in six minutes, yet the block itself has room to breathe—lots average just under a tenth of an acre, keeping things compact and walkable without feeling cramped. You've got forty-eight restaurants within a mile, a transit stop practically at your doorstep, and nine parks in the immediate area, including Alexander Park just a short walk away. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. The neighborhood's real anchor, though, is how embedded it is in the Southeast community—you're walking distance from everything that matters, whether that's groceries, dinner, or a boat launch at Butterworth Park just a couple miles south.

Estimates use a 6.65% 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.
