The grid here is tight—quarter-acre lots stacked into four acres means you're living shoulder-to-shoulder with neighbors in a real neighborhood, not spread across some suburban expanse. Harrison Park sits a four-minute walk away, anchoring the block with baseball fields, tennis courts, and open space. Groceries and restaurants are a two-minute walk; the nearest coffee shop takes about eleven minutes. Grand Rapids Public Schools serve the area. Homes here run around two hundred thirty-three thousand dollars.

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.
