The real standout here is the elevation—you're perched on that 160-foot bluff that defines Belknap Lookout, which means downtown Grand Rapids spreads out just 2.7 minutes down the hill. The 13-acre subdivision sits where the neighborhood's dramatic topography and its restaurant scene (nearly 600 within a mile) collide, so you're living on high ground but surrounded by activity at street level. The median lot is about 0.11 acres—tight but intentional.

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.
