Churchill Downs No.1
Solid value in a growing area
Median $335K·Walkability 5.1/10·Schools 3.3/10
When you turn onto Churchill Downs No.1, the first thing you notice is the canopy—mature trees shade the winding streets, and the lots sit close enough together that you feel the neighborhood's presence without it ever feeling cramped. Nineteen acres platted into roughly seventy homes, each on a quarter-acre or so, creates that sweet spot where you've got actual yard and breathing room, but you're not isolated. Homes here run around $356K, and they're the kind of mid-century stock you'd expect in this part of Grand Rapids—Cape Cod, ranch, colonial—built solid and lived in long enough to have real character.

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.
