Walkable and connected
Median $155K·Walkability 6.7/10·Schools 3.9/10
Out here you're a three-minute walk from restaurants—and I mean 637 of them within a mile, so the choice paralysis is real—but what really matters is that you're steps from transit and a short walk to groceries, which means you can actually live without a car if you want to pretend you're that person. The neighborhood sits in East Hills, that brick-paved stretch just east of downtown where century-old homes still have their original woodwork and people are constantly peeling back layers to find what was hidden underneath—new kitchens, refinished floors, HVAC systems that actually work. Baldwin Park is a two-minute walk away, and there are 25 parks within a mile if you need grass without leaving the block. Downtown is 3.2 minutes by car, which feels silly to mention except that proximity to actual things—Cherry Street's restaurants and breweries, the Grand Rapids Public Schools buildings, the Medical Mile—is what makes this stretch feel like it has options rather than just lots. Drive to the airport in under 22 minutes if you need to go anywhere, but honestly most days you won't.

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.
