Strong schools draw families here
Median $345K·Walkability 3.8/10·Schools 7.0/10
What surprises most people about Country Meadows is how much green space fits into thirty-four acres without feeling cramped. You've got a restaurant a short walk away and twelve more within a mile, plus eight parks within walking distance—including Gerritt J Buth Park, which is about seven minutes on foot. A grocery store is roughly fifteen minutes walk if you're in the mood, and there are six more scattered within two miles. The whole setup reads less like a typical suburban box and more like someone actually thought about what makes a place work day-to-day.

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.
