Jefferson Farms
Solid value in a growing area
Median $369K·Walkability 2.5/10·Schools 5.5/10
If someone asks where Jefferson Farms is, tell them it's the platted subdivision just off 44th and Shaffer—nineteen acres of single-family homes on lots averaging a third of an acre, with a median value around $382K. The place has the feel of a deliberate neighborhood rather than a sprawl; you can walk to a restaurant in fourteen minutes, and there are a dozen within a mile if you want options. Paris Park sits less than a mile away, and two parks are accessible without leaving the immediate area.

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.
