Blandford S Add.
Solid value in a growing area
Median $287K·Walkability 5.3/10·Schools 3.5/10
Early evening is when Blandford S Add. really lands—the light softens across the modest 10-acre subdivision just southwest of downtown, and you can see why people choose to stay close to the action without living in it. Homes here run around $257K, sitting on quarter-acre lots in the Travista Park Area, with downtown Grand Rapids just 8 minutes away by car. You're steps from transit, and a restaurant is a casual 9-minute walk if dinner calls; there are 30 others within a mile when you want options. Godfrey-Lee Public Schools serves the neighborhood, and Battjes Park is a quick 4-minute stroll—one of five parks within walking distance. The boat launch at Butterworth Park sits just 1.8 miles down the road if the water matters to you, and the airport is 23 minutes out when travel time comes.

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.
