Walkable near top schools
Median $292K·Walkability 8.2/10·Schools 4.3/10
You wake up here and a grocery store is a two-minute walk away—not a trip you plan, just something you do between other things. Sobieski Add. sits in Midtown, a ten-acre pocket where Michigan Street's restaurant row (think The Friesian, Taco Bicho, Logan's Alley) is practically on your doorstep, and the Fulton Street Farmer's Market, running strong since nineteen twenty-two, is close enough to become part of your Saturday rhythm. Fuller Park is a seven-minute walk, and there are a dozen more parks within a mile—the kind of density that means you're never far from green space or a coffee shop.

Estimates use a 7.28% 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.
