The thing you'd notice first about Fox Hill Plat is how close everything actually is—your nearest restaurant is a 4-minute walk, the grocery store about the same, and you're steps from a transit stop. It's a 9-acre subdivision in Alger Heights, and the lots are modest at 0.15 acres each, meaning you're living in real proximity to your neighbors and the neighborhood pulse. Downtown Grand Rapids is just 10 minutes away by car, so you're not isolated, but you're definitely not in the thick of it either.

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.
