Buwaldas Add sits on twenty-four acres in the Roosenraad Supervisors Plat No 2 Area, with lots averaging just over a quarter acre each. Downtown Grand Rapids lies about thirty minutes east, while the Lake Michigan shore at Grand Haven is roughly thirty-five minutes west—close enough for a weekend run without feeling tethered to either. Hoogland Park is a two-minute walk away, and four parks sit within a mile, so green space isn't something you have to hunt for. A grocery store lands about a mile down the road, and you've got forty-eight restaurants within walking distance, including a coffee shop and dinner spots just six minutes on foot.

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.
