Ten acres tucked along the southeast side of Grand Rapids, L. S. Provins Add. sits just six and a half minutes from downtown—close enough to the city's pulse but rooted in a residential block where lots average a compact 0.13 acres. Alexander Park is a two-minute walk away, and the neighborhood has thirteen parks within a mile, which matters when you're living on a smaller footprint. You're steps from transit, and a quick fifteen-minute walk gets you to grocers, coffee shops, and one of 115 restaurants within a mile—the density of dining and services here punches above its weight. Homes run around $158K, and the area draws on Grand Rapids Public Schools. If you're working downtown or heading to Gerald R. Ford Airport, you're looking at about twenty-two minutes. The bones of this place are solid: older, modest homes on tight lots with real walkable bones underneath.

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.
