Late afternoon is when Royal Gardens No.2 really shines—sun filtering through the mature trees that line these eight acres of platted homes in North Park. The neighborhood sits on modest lots of about a quarter acre each, giving you enough ground to breathe without the sprawl. You're twelve and a half minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which means you get neighborhood peace without feeling cut off from the city's pulse.

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.
