Butler Addition
Surrounded by nature
Median $179K·Walkability 5.7/10·Schools 6.5/10
Driving in puts you on tree-lined streets where modest homes sit on generous lots, each with its own patch of yard and room to breathe—the kind of block where a dead-end street feels like an asset rather than a limitation. A grocery store is a five-minute walk away, and about a mile in any direction you'll find fifteen restaurants ranging from corner cafes to proper sit-downs, plus coffee shops that don't require much of a detour. First Ward Park anchors the neighborhood just three minutes on foot, one of six within a mile, so there's green space woven through rather than concentrated in one spot. The river and downtown Hastings are close enough to feel like extensions of home without the constant buzz—Gerald R. Ford International is thirty-eight minutes north when you need it, but most days the rhythm here is local: basement space to finish, kitchens with character, the kind of streets where kids can wander and deer still find their way through backyards.

Crime in Butler Addition is reported at the city level, not the neighborhood level. The FBI doesn't publish reliable crime rates for individual neighborhoods, and within any community crime varies street to street. For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Barry County.
Barry County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Butler Addition home (around $178,750) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $32k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,189 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|

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.
