Crime in Ross Rd & 2nd St Area is reported at the city level, not the neighborhood level.

To buy a median-priced Ross Rd & 2nd St Area home (around $185,000) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $33k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,246 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

Down paymentMonthly paymentIncome needed
20% $1,246/mo$33,230
10% (+PMI)$1,434/mo$38,247
5% (+PMI)$1,497/mo$39,933

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.
