Doran's Assessor's Plat No. 12 spans just 4 acres in Baxter, with lots averaging 0.11 acres—tight enough that your nearest coffee shop is a five-minute walk, which also happens to be the distance to groceries and dinner. The subdivision sits close enough to downtown Grand Rapids that you can reach it in six minutes, yet far enough south to have real neighborhood texture: Joe Taylor Park with its playground lands two minutes on foot, and fifteen parks cluster within a mile. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. The Wealthy Theatre, a restored 1911 arts center, anchors the surrounding blocks alongside soul food spots like Forty Acres and the Electric Cheetah—229 restaurants within a mile means this isn't a quiet pocket. Homes here hover around $199K median value, and transit access rates a perfect 10 on walkability scores, making car-light living genuinely possible rather than an aspiration.

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.
