Early morning light hits the brick homes here best, when you can see how the neighborhood sits tucked into John Ball Park—a nine-acre subdivision with tree-lined streets and modest lots that feel both intimate and connected. You're walking distance from a coffee shop or restaurant, and the park system nearby (nine within a mile) means green space is genuinely part of your routine, not a destination. Downtown Grand Rapids is about seven minutes away by car, so you're close enough to feel part of the city without living in it.

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.
