Cuming & Ferry'S Add.
Walkable and connected
Median $225K·Walkability 6.8/10·Schools 4.2/10
Streets lined with corner grocers and restaurants within arm's reach make mornings here feel lived-in rather than planned—you step out and the neighborhood is already awake. A quick walk lands you at coffee, dinner, or a dozen taquerias; the transit stop is right there too, which means downtown is barely five minutes away by car. The area holds 22 parks within a mile, with Douglas Park a short stroll, and the walkability to dining spots (9.4 out of 10) reads as pure practical abundance rather than destination-hunting. What makes this stretch distinct is the density of it all—444 restaurants and 30 grocery stores within reasonable distance—layered onto a tightly woven 31-acre grid of modest lots where homes sit close enough that the neighborhood actually feels like a neighborhood. That proximity to West Grand's breweries, historic churches, and the Fish Ladder on the Grand River adds real texture without requiring a drive.

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.
