Hogebooms 2nd Add.
Walkable near top schools
Median $253K·Walkability 8.1/10·Schools 4.7/10
Hogebooms 2nd Add. is a 10-acre subdivision where the average lot runs about 0.11 acres—tight enough that you're practically sharing a driveway with your neighbors, which either sounds cozy or claustrophobic depending on your temperament. Homes here hover around $224K, and you're sitting in Creston, a neighborhood that's roughly 4.6 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. The real strength is proximity: a grocery store is steps away, transit stops are right there, and 84 restaurants land within a mile—which means dinner options range from quick tacos to sit-down affairs without much hunting. Mary Waters Park is a 7-minute walk if you need grass and trees, and there are 9 parks total within a mile. Fitness amenities score a perfect 10 on walkability, and transit scores the same, so car dependency isn't a given here. Attend Grand Rapids Public Schools, and if you're a boater, Comstock Riverside Park Launch sits less than a mile away.

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.
