Kenwood Addition
Urban energy, solid value
Median $231K·Walkability 7.2/10·Schools 4.0/10
You'll find Kenwood Addition more compact and walkable than most West Michigan subdivisions—32 acres of homes on modest lots where you're steps from restaurants, a transit stop, and Burton Woods Park's four-minute walk away. Sitting inside Garfield Park, the subdivision shares the larger neighborhood's dining scene: over 70 restaurants within a mile, including a dozen Latin spots along Division Avenue, plus Rodriguez Supermarket for specialty groceries nearby. Homes here run around $232K, and the school district is Grand Rapids Public Schools. Downtown's a seven-minute drive, which means you can work or play in the city core and still keep a real yard. The bones of the neighborhood—Queen Anne Victorians and early American Foursquares from the 1800s—give the blocks a solid, established feel without feeling remote.

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.
