Burgess & Gillens Sub
Lake life, small town feel
Median $320K·Walkability 2.9/10·Schools 5.5/10
You're living in an 80-acre stretch where you can walk to groceries and restaurants in under 10 minutes, hit the beach in seven, yet still have real yards and breathing room — something that gets harder to find closer to the city. The area sits thick with options: nearly 90 restaurants and 24 grocery stores within a couple miles, so your weeknight routine doesn't revolve around one strip or chain. A park sits a short walk away, and there are six within a mile, which matters when you've got restless kids or just want to move around without thinking about it. You're technically closer to Grand Haven than you are to downtown Grand Rapids (48 minutes away), so the lake culture and smaller-town pace win out. Homes here range from ranch layouts with solid bones to two-story setups with actual acreage — the kind of properties where newer updates (furnaces, roofs, windows) show up often in what comes on market. It's the zone where you get suburban convenience without feeling packed in, and Grand Haven Area Public Schools handles the education side.

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.
