Welcome to this beautifully renovated home in Kalamazoo's popular Edison Neighborhood, completely updated by Kalamazoo Neighborhood Housing Services. The main floor is bright and inviting, with freshly painted walls, light LVP flooring, and a seamless flow between the living and dining areas. The kitchen shines with white shaker cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, while a main-floor bedroom with its own private full bath offers convenient one-level living. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a second full bath. Energy efficiency was a priority throughout the renovation, with replacement windows, a high-efficiency HVAC/AC system, and a new water heater all working together to help keep utility costs low. Please note: home availability is restricted to buyers whose income falls at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
Edison, located between Portage Street and Sprinkle Road, is a residential and industrial Kalamazoo neighborhood with a rail-lined edge and a grid of mid-century streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Portage Street corridor near Kilgore Road, where auto shops, corner markets, and long-running eateries set a practical, lived-in tone. Community pillars include the Kalamazoo Farmers Market, the Kalamazoo State Theatre, and Bell’s Eccentric Cafe. Housing leans toward modest ranches and postwar capes with deep lots and mature trees. Parks and school grounds add open space, while nearby stadium nights and downtown arts calendars keep the area connected to city life.
