You're looking at 20 acres of condo living in the Marlo Farms Area, just outside the main Grand Rapids hustle—downtown is only about 19 minutes away if you need it, and the airport's another few minutes past that. The setting is spacious; the average lot runs nearly 20 acres, so you're not stacked on top of your neighbors. What makes this spot work is the proximity to actual stuff: there's a grocery store about a 10-minute walk, and roughly 42 restaurants within a mile if you feel like venturing out—coffee shops included. Byron Center Public Schools serves the area. Byron Township Bicentennial Park sits less than a mile away if you want some green space without leaving the immediate neighborhood. It's the kind of setup where you get land and breathing room but aren't isolated—everything you'd actually use on a regular basis is close enough that you're not constantly driving.

Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Byron Forest Condominium home (around $338,950) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $61k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,283 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |

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.
