Moodys Add. is a 10-acre platted subdivision where the real advantage is transit—you're steps from The Rapid bus system, which means getting downtown Grand Rapids takes just 7 minutes by car when you want it, but you don't have to rely on one. Homes here run around $220K on average, sitting just inside the Southeast End neighborhood where walkable streets and older housing stock (lots built before 1940) define the feel. Martin Luther King Jr. Park is a quick 4-minute walk, and there are 12 parks within a mile if you need green space; grocery stores, coffee, and restaurants are all within a 10-minute walk or so. With 199 restaurants and 42 grocery stores nearby, you're genuinely close to what Eastown and downtown offer without the property tax hit of East Grand Rapids itself. Families and first-time buyers come here for exactly that balance—urban convenience on a smaller footprint. Schools are served by Grand Rapids Public Schools.

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.
