Sitting at the corner of Burton Street SE and Eastern Avenue SE in Grand Rapids, The Eastland Add. is a nine-acre subdivision where modest single-family homes—averaging around $208K—occupy tight quarter-acre lots in a neighborhood actively building itself back up through local ownership and investment. Downtown is nine minutes away by car, and the airport runs about eighteen, which means you're close enough to the city's pulse without being swallowed by it. Cheseboro Park is a four-minute walk, and there are a dozen parks within a mile if you're counting. The real draw here isn't what's missing—it's what's happening: thirty restaurants within walking distance, a transit stop practically on your doorstep, and the kind of food access that makes weeknight dinner a real choice rather than a chore. Grand Rapids Public Schools serve the area, and if you need groceries or coffee, there's plenty within reach, though nothing is on the corner. This is a place where people are choosing to stay, not just passing through.

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.
