Big Pine Island Preserve
Surrounded by nature
Median $465K·Walkability 2.6/10·Schools 4.7/10
So here's the thing about Big Pine Island Preserve — you're looking at 63 acres of condo living where the lots actually breathe, averaging 1.38 acres each. That's not the typical subdivision feel. You're about 37 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids if that matters to your commute. The real draw is what's literally on the doorstep: Big Pine Island Lake is just 0.2 miles away, and two parks within a mile give you options without feeling like you're chasing them down. Schools fall under Belding Area School District, and the community sits in the Byrne Park Area if you're mapping it out. The land here speaks for itself — bigger lots mean actual setback from neighbors, water access that doesn't require a hunt, and the kind of space where a condo doesn't feel cramped.

Estimates use a 6.65% 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.
