You're about two and a half minutes from the beach at Grand Haven, which honestly changes how you think about your commute when you're sitting at home in Barnes Add. This 10-acre subdivision has lot sizes averaging around a quarter acre, homes running around $410K, and a dining scene that punches way above its weight—186 restaurants within a mile speaks for itself, with a coffee shop about five minutes on foot and a full restaurant a three-minute walk away. Bolt Park is a seven-minute stroll, and there are thirteen parks within a mile if you're counting.

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.
