Braeburn Plat sits on 5 acres in the Vineyard Area, where you'll find a small subdivision of homes priced around $938K. It's close enough to downtown Grand Rapids—11.8 minutes by car—that you're not commuting across the county, yet far enough out that you've got actual land and breathing room. The walk to a grocery store or restaurant runs about 12 minutes, and there are a dozen dining options within a mile if you don't feel like cooking. Forest Hills Public Schools serves the area. Hidden Lake sits 1.7 miles away, and Forest Hills Park is a 10-minute walk, so outdoor access is straightforward rather than aspirational. It's the kind of place where you get suburban proximity without feeling hemmed in—close to what you need, far enough from the noise to actually enjoy where you live.

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.
