Bay View Park
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $2.5M·Walkability 4.7/10·Schools 4.6/10
Bay View Park is a 10-acre subdivision where you're genuinely close to water—Lake Macatawa sits just a quarter mile away, and Lakeview City Park is a four-minute walk. Homes here run around $2.5M, and the location keeps you connected without feeling crowded; a grocery store is a six-minute walk, and there are six restaurants within a mile if you're not cooking. Holland City School District serves the area. The neighborhood has five parks within walking distance and sits near enough to Grand Haven's beaches (about 42 minutes by car) that a weekend trip is real, but far enough that you get the quieter side of things. It's the kind of place where proximity actually matters—close enough to reach things, far enough to breathe.

Ottawa County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Bay View Park home (around $2,460,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $436k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $16,362 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

| 10% (+PMI) | $18,838/mo | $502,345 |

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.
