Picketts Burton St. Add.
Walkable and connected
Median $270K·Walkability 6.8/10·Schools 4.0/10
Picketts Burton St. Add. sits on five acres in Eastern-Burton, where the nearest transit stop is basically your front step and downtown Grand Rapids is a nine-minute drive away—the kind of proximity that means you're close enough to the city without living in it. The subdivision itself is tight: homes average just over a tenth of an acre, with a median value around $185K, and the lots back up to eleven parks within a mile, including Cheseboro Park a three-minute walk out. Dining runs thick here—eighteen restaurants within a mile, with a restaurant just four minutes on foot—and if you need to catch a bus, you're already there. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and Gerald R. Ford Airport is eighteen minutes south. The real texture, though, lives in what's happening at the Burton Street and Eastern Avenue intersection, where Black-owned businesses are building something deliberate: Burton Village BBQ Company, Cindy's Chicken Coop, a new coffee shop in planning, and the Burton Village Event Center on the way—not amenities dropped in, but roots going down.

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.
