Duprees Sub.
Walkable and connected
Median $255K·Walkability 6.9/10·Schools 4.3/10
What catches people off guard about Duprees Sub. is how much living fits into four acres—a tight cluster of homes where downtown is just five minutes away, yet the subdivision sits comfortably within Highland Park, a neighborhood defined by tree-lined streets and genuine quiet. The lots run small at about a sixth of an acre each, but that constraint buys proximity; the nearest grocery is an 8-minute walk, restaurants number nearly two hundred within a mile, and a coffee shop sits nine minutes on foot. Eastern Park is practically next door for a two-minute stroll. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and homes here hover around $246K—modest enough that you're not paying for distant sprawl or empty land, but rather for location and the ability to walk to what matters. The real surprise comes at the edges: fourteen parks within a mile, a transit stop a few blocks away, and the whole neighborhood structured around short trips and genuine convenience, not the illusion of it.

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.
