J.H. Stander Add.
Urban energy, solid value
Median $300K·Walkability 7.1/10·Schools 4.0/10
What might surprise you about J.H. Stander Add. is how much is actually within reach—a five-acre subdivision in Eastern-Burton where downtown Grand Rapids sits just under ten minutes away and you're steps from transit. Homes here run around $270K on average lot sizes of 0.29 acres, and the neighborhood's real draw is access: eighteen restaurants within a mile, Cheseboro Park a two-minute walk, and grocery options plentiful enough that the nearest one is an eleven-minute walk. The Grand Rapids Public Schools district serves the area, and while the walkability score sits modest at 5.8 overall, dining and transit are legitimately strong at 6.5 and 10 out of 10 respectively. If you're thinking about location over space, this subdivision delivers—close enough to downtown energy and amenities, far enough removed to have its own rhythm within Eastern-Burton.

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.
