Burchardts Sub.
Walkable and connected
Median $341K·Walkability 6.9/10·Schools 4.3/10
So here you've got a tight subdivision—one acre, roughly—where homes run around $287K and the lots are modest at a sixth of an acre each. You're technically in Highland Park, which means you're minutes from downtown Grand Rapids (6.3 minutes, no traffic fantasy required) and close enough to the medical mile and Fulton Street that you could actually use them without it being an ordeal. Eastern Park is a four-minute walk, and there are nine parks within a mile if you're the type who needs options. Groceries and coffee are both about seven minutes on foot, and 180 restaurants within a mile means you're not cooking every night unless you want to. Transit access sits at an 8/10, so car dependency isn't really the story here—you've got choices. The walkability hovers around 6.8 overall, which is solid for the suburbs. Grand Rapids Public Schools handles the schools. It's the kind of place where you get actual neighborhood density without feeling like you're stacked on top of anyone.

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.
