Empire Company

Median $249K·Walkability 5.0/10·Schools 5.8/10
Empire Company spreads across 79 acres in the Ephraim Misner's Add. Area with standard suburban lots averaging just under half an acre each—the kind of footprint that gives you room to breathe without sprawling endlessly outward. The Fremont Public School District serves the subdivision. A restaurant sits steps away, and there are nine more within a mile, though a coffee shop requires a 1.6-mile drive; the nearest grocery is an 11-minute walk, with four stores within two miles total. Memorial Park is a four-minute walk, and six parks cluster within a mile of the subdivision. Downtown Grand Rapids is about 65 minutes south if you need it, but the real anchor here is the density of actual things to do close by—nine restaurants, multiple parks, and a grocery within shouting distance.

To buy a median-priced Empire Company home (around $249,000) at today's 6.69% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $45k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,682 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $1,682/mo | $44,866 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $1,936/mo | $51,636 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $2,022/mo | $53,915 |
Estimates use a 6.69% 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.
