Hoyt & Hookers Add.
Solid value in a growing area
Median $225K·Walkability 5.9/10·Schools 4.0/10
What might surprise you is how close everything actually is—nine acres wedged into a neighborhood where you're steps from transit, a five-minute walk from restaurants, and nine minutes from downtown. The lots run small and tight, averaging just over a tenth of an acre each, which means the area has that dense, lived-in feel of older inner-ring subdivisions rather than the spread-out Michigan sprawl you might expect. Homes here tend toward vintage brick bungalows and two-stories with front porches—the kind of places that get hardwood floors refinished, kitchens updated with stainless steel, and attached garages enlarged for modern cars. There are 36 restaurants within a mile, including Burton Village BBQ and other spots along Eastern Avenue SE, plus a dozen parks nearby if you need greenspace. Gerald R. Ford Airport is under 20 minutes away, and you can catch a bus steps from your door. The real kicker: Cheseboro Park is a six-minute walk, and there's actual water access—Butterworth Park Launch sits about 2.7 miles south if you've got a boat.

Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
