Braeside Estates No.2
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $685K·Walkability 1.0/10·Schools 7.3/10
Braeside Estates No. 2 sits on 79 acres where you can actually move around without feeling cramped—there's real space between homes, and the subdivision has a settled, low-key feel that works if you want room to breathe without driving forever to grab coffee or dinner. A grocery store is just over a mile away, and there are nearly two dozen restaurants within a mile, so you're not isolated; the Rockford area is close enough that downtown Grand Rapids lands about 26 minutes out, which is useful without being the whole story. Homes here run around $685K, and Rockford Public Schools serves the area. If you're into the water, the Rogue River boat launch is a short drive, and there's a park just a mile down the road for when you want a quick outing without leaving the neighborhood.

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.
