Rumsey 3rd Farm Addition
Walkable and connected
Median $228K·Walkability 6.6/10·Schools 3.8/10
Rumsey 3rd Farm Addition sits just minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, tucked into Grandville where the Grand River bends and the landscape opens into tree-lined streets and modest lots around 0.12 acres each. You're close enough to the action—a coffee shop is four minutes on foot, and 150 restaurants spread across the mile around you—but far enough removed to feel like a real neighborhood rather than an extension of the city. The 18-acre subdivision has a quietly practical character: Clemente Park is a five-minute walk, thirteen parks lie within a mile, and you can reach a boat launch at Butterworth Park in under a mile if the river calls. Schools feed into Grand Rapids Public Schools, and homes here run around $180K, which explains why this modest corner of the West Side has held steady as a place where people actually stay. Downtown is just 4.2 minutes away by car, but the real draw is how little you need to leave.

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.
