Bosma Add. No.3 sits on just five acres—small enough that you can walk to a restaurant in three minutes, yet surrounded by thirty-six of them within a mile. The subdivision anchors itself in Garfield Park, where Division Avenue hums with a dozen Mexican and Latin restaurants, murals brighten the blocks, and the namesake park spreads its twenty-nine acres of woodland, courts, and playgrounds nearby. Homes here run around two hundred fifty thousand dollars, and you're steps from the nearest transit stop.

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.
