Forslund Condominium
Walkable with great nature access
Median $631K·Walkability 7.0/10·Schools 4.1/10
Sandwiched between the Amway Grand and the JW Marriott, this 18-unit building sits in the thickest part of downtown Grand Rapids, which means you're literally steps from restaurants—462 of them within a mile—and about two minutes from a coffee shop on foot. The condo features hardwood floors, underground parking (a real asset when you're this central), and a rooftop deck that overlooks the action below. Lyon Square sits right adjacent, and a dog park is a seven-minute walk away if you need to burn some energy without leaving the neighborhood. Grocery stores are about an 11-minute walk, transit is two minutes away, and the whole downtown corridor is 1.4 minutes by car—which is less a commute and more a formality. You're attending Grand Rapids Public Schools. If you're the type who actually wants to live where things happen rather than drive to them, the tight footprint and the location do the work. Just know what you're signing up for: this is not a sprawl situation. It's dense, walkable, and built for people who think proximity to restaurants and transit beats square footage.

To buy a median-priced Forslund Condominium home (around $630,500) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $113k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $4,247 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $4,247/mo | $113,250 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $4,888/mo | $130,348 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $5,104/mo | $136,096 |
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.
