This 10-acre plat sits just minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, where you can practically walk to a transit stop and find yourself downtown in under six minutes by car. The subdivision's modest 0.11-acre lots cluster in a neighborhood where restaurants and coffee shops are a ten-minute walk away, and you're surrounded by 205 dining options within a mile—a density that speaks to the Southeast Grand Rapids energy. Alexander Park is a five-minute stroll, and there are 16 parks within walking distance, along with 36 grocery stores nearby. Median home values hover around $182K, and the area is served by Grand Rapids Public Schools, which feeds this corner of the Southeast community where Seeds of Promise has been working on resident-led transformation for over two decades.

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.
