What surprises most people about Foxtail Meadows is how much land you actually get—lots average just over 2 acres, which means real space between houses instead of the postage-stamp suburban feel you'd expect 27 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. The subdivision itself spans 25 acres and feeds into Rockford Public Schools. You're close enough to amenities without being on top of them: a grocery is 3 miles away, restaurants start at 2.8 miles, and Little Myers Lake sits about a mile and a quarter down the road if you're thinking boats or swimming. Myers Lake County Park is under two miles out. The drive to Gerald R. Ford Airport takes just under 40 minutes, which matters if you travel regularly. It's the kind of place where you get breathing room but don't have to move to the middle of nowhere to find it.

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.
