Brick homes in the Traditional style line these streets—modest lots of about a quarter acre each across the 15-acre plat—and from here, a coffee shop or dinner is a five-minute walk, with 241 restaurants and shops within a mile that make running errands feel less like a chore and more like you belong somewhere. Downtown Grand Rapids is less than eight minutes away, and transit stops sit five minutes on foot, which means the car stays parked more often than you'd expect in a subdivision this size. Sigsbee Park is an easy walk, one of seven parks within a mile, and Reeds Lake lies just over a mile south if you want water and trees without a drive. At a median home value around $503K, homes here sit in Grand Rapids Public Schools territory, with the ordinary rhythms of a close-in neighborhood—walkable to what matters, close enough to the city to feel connected, far enough out to breathe.

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.
