Strung along Burlingame Avenue SW in south-central Wyoming, this pocket of the metro's largest southwest suburb takes its name straight from the street sign — the north–south corridor locals use to describe where they live. The recognized anchors sit a little south of the 28th Street retail spine, clustered around Oriole Park and Lemery Park, where Oriole Avenue dead-ends into open athletic fields and walking trails with no through traffic. Lemery Park adds basketball and tennis courts, and a short drive reaches Prairie Park's skate park, Lamar Park's splash pad and fishing pier, and Pinery Park's ball fields. Downtown Grand Rapids is roughly a 15-minute drive up the expressway.

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.
