Powers Paris Add.
Solid value in a growing area
Median $233K·Walkability 6.0/10·Schools 4.0/10
Powers Paris Add. sits on 40 acres of traditional homes where lots cluster tight at roughly 0.12 acres each, a geometry that puts you steps from transit and a dense ring of restaurants—42 within a mile, along with 48 grocery stores across a two-mile radius. Downtown Grand Rapids is a quick 7.9-minute drive, and the coffee shop and groceries are close enough that errands don't demand much planning. Oakdale Gardens lands a five-minute walk away, one of eight parks within a mile that give the subdivision room to breathe despite its compact footprint. Median home values around $180K, paired with that proximity to Southeast End's mix of walkable streets and downtown access, make this feel like the kind of place where you're not paying for sprawl or distance—just proximity to what actually matters.

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.
