Median $625K·Walkability 3.1/10·Schools 8.0/10
Living at Briarwood Crossing, you get 37 acres of condo living with the kind of breathing room that doesn't feel cramped—each lot averages nearly half an acre, which means actual space between homes instead of the shoulder-to-shoulder feel you get elsewhere. The community sits close enough to Grand Haven beach that a quick 12-minute drive gets you there on a whim, and downtown Grand Rapids is a straight shot down the highway when you need it. Around here, there's a restaurant within walking distance (about three-quarters of a mile), with six more tucked within a mile if you're in the mood to explore, and a grocery store about a mile away. What really grounds this place, though, is the Minnie Skwarek Nature Preserve—a genuine pocket of green just a short walk from your door. Homes here run around $951K, and you're part of the Spring Lake Public Schools district, which serves the broader area well.

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.
