The Brickway Residences
Strong schools draw families here
Median $245K·Walkability 6.3/10·Schools 4.2/10
So here's the thing about The Brickway Residences—the brick itself. Walk up and you're looking at genuine masonry facades that anchor the whole block, the kind of bones that make a place feel solid instead of thrown together. You're in Downtown Grand Rapids proper, close enough to restaurants and coffee shops that you're literally steps away, and the transit hub is right there too if you need it. Monument Park is a two-minute walk, which matters more than it sounds when you're talking about urban living—there are actually 34 parks within a mile, so green space isn't some distant promise. The dining scene alone is wild: 462 restaurants within a mile means you could eat somewhere different every night for over a year and still have options. Grocery runs to one of the 36 stores within two miles are quick, and if you're heading to Gerald R. Ford Airport, that's about 21 minutes. Homes here run around $329K, and with Grand Rapids Public Schools handling the district, you've got solid educational infrastructure nearby. The walkability scores reflect what you'd expect from a downtown location—dining is practically a given at 10/10, transit the same, and there's real fitness infrastructure at 6.5/10. What really sticks, though, is that you're living inside actual brick-and-mortar history, not some glass development that could be anywhere.

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.
