Surrounded by nature
Median $330K·Walkability 6.9/10·Schools 3.8/10
The moment you turn onto the quiet residential streets here, you notice the houses—modest bungalows and cottages from the 1920s through 1950s, packed tightly enough that you can actually walk to a grocery store, coffee shop, or restaurant in about three minutes. Bosma Add. sits within Alger Heights, a 30-acre subdivision where 120 restaurants and 66 grocery stores exist within a mile or two, and transit stops sit practically at your doorstep. Homes here run around $340K and sell fast; the Grand Rapids Public Schools district serves the area, and Seymour Park—with its community library and splash pad—is a six-minute walk away. Downtown Grand Rapids is 11 minutes by car, the airport 16 minutes.

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.
