Fairbanks Estates Site Condominium
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $840K·Walkability 1.3/10·Schools 10.0/10
You're looking at condo living where homes sit on nearly an acre, which is the kind of space that makes you forget you're in a suburban setting—these are executive-level builds running around $1.0M, many with finished walkout basements and square footage that climbs past 4,600. The community wraps itself around wooded lots on cul-de-sacs, and that proximity to the Thornapple River means water access is real, not theoretical. Kettle Lake is just over a mile away if you want to launch a boat, and FRED W. RUEHS PARK sits about an 8-minute walk from your door with three other parks scattered within a mile radius. Downtown Grand Rapids is a 26-minute drive if you need it, while Gerald R. Ford Airport is just 11 minutes away—the kind of convenience that matters when schedules are tight. A restaurant hits about an 11-minute walk, and there are 18 restaurants within a mile, so you're not isolated even though the setting feels that way. Schools feed into Caledonia Community Schools, and pets are welcome on the property.

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.
