Amber Lakes sits on 39 acres in the Hollie Estates Area, where suburban spacing meets genuine proximity to what matters. Downtown Grand Rapids is 14 minutes away by car, and the airport runs about 18 minutes—close enough that you're not spending your life in traffic, far enough that you're not hearing it either. The landscape here feels expansive: each condo lot averages two-thirds of an acre, giving homes real breathing room without the isolation of sprawl. Within a mile, there are 54 restaurants scattered across the area, so dinner isn't some expedition—a seven-minute walk gets you fed. Groceries sit 1.1 miles away, and there are 18 stores within two miles if you're the type to shop around. An unnamed park lies about a mile and a quarter down the road. Schools fall under Byron Center Public Schools.

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.
