...and the neighborhood itself is all ranch and multi-level homes on corner lots and generous yards—the kind of properties where a deck and fenced side yard feel like essential infrastructure rather than nice-to-haves. You've got Jackson's Landing a four-minute walk away if you need to burn off some energy, and another ten parks within a mile if you're the type who rotates. Baldwin Lake is 1.6 miles out for weekend recreation without the seasonal crowds. The grocery and a decent restaurant are both under two miles, so you're not exactly roughing it.

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.
