The Crossings
Walkable and connected
Median $366K·Walkability 6.3/10·Schools 5.1/10
You're looking at a twenty-seven-acre subdivision wedged between 68th Street and the M-6 Freeway, where new construction homes cluster around a core of immediate convenience. A coffee shop sits four minutes away on foot, and a restaurant is practically at your doorstep—there are ninety-six of them within a mile, which is almost aggressive. The nearest grocery is an eight-minute walk, and Creekside Park lands seven minutes away if you want to move around without a car. Transit access is strong here: the nearest stop is a four-minute walk, which matters if you're heading downtown Grand Rapids in sixteen minutes or toward Gerald R. Ford Airport in thirteen.

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.
