The asphalt curves gently as you arrive, lined with mature trees that filter the light into dappled patches on the road. Alden Grove No. 1 spreads across twenty-four acres in the Byron Oaks No. 2 Area, a platted subdivision where the lots have room to breathe and the streetscape feels unhurried. Byron Township Whistlestop Park is a two-minute walk away, and two more parks sit within a mile—the kind of green space that becomes part of your daily loop without you planning it.

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.
