Sunrise Add.
Urban energy, solid value
Median $291K·Walkability 7.1/10·Schools 4.1/10
Mailboxes line Eastern Avenue where the street widens into the commercial heart of Alger Heights, and Sunrise Add. sits right at that intersection—nineteen acres where you can step out your door and reach a restaurant in seconds or catch the bus just as quickly. Homes here, mostly built between the 1920s and 1950s in bungalow and cottage styles, cluster on small lots (averaging 0.12 acres) in the kind of density that makes walking feel natural rather than forced. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and downtown is ten minutes away by car.

Estimates use a 6.58% 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.
