Ada Moorings North
Strong schools draw families here
Median $603K·Walkability 4.6/10·Schools 8.5/10
The Grand River boat launch sits just a quarter mile away—close enough that kayakers keep their paddles in the car—and that proximity sets the tone for everything here. Two hundred acres of nature preserve wind through the community with trails for walking and biking, anchoring 230 homes across 28 acres of condo and single-family living. From the playground to the clubhouse, the design prioritizes gathering spaces, though the real draw is stepping outside into something larger than a typical suburban block. Downtown Grand Rapids lands about 19 minutes south; Gerald R. Ford Airport is a 20-minute drive. Homes here run around $400K–$650K, depending on what you're building or what's available, and they tend toward custom finishes—some back onto private ponds, others sit on quarter-acre lots with room to breathe.

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.
