You've got this neighborhood built on homes from the early 1900s—brick, hardwood, character in every corner. Walk around and you'll see Victorian details still intact, cherry woodwork, fireplaces that actually work, yards deep enough to breathe. It's the kind of place where somebody spent real money restoring these old houses right, and you can see it.

| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |

Estimates use a 6.66% 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.
