Solid value in a growing area

Driving through this stretch feels like stepping back in time—tree-lined streets, modest homes on generous lots, and the kind of quiet that actually means something. The village sits along the Coldwater River in northern Barry County, about forty minutes from Grand Rapids, close enough to commute but far enough to breathe. You'll find the Freeport District Library on South State Street, a modest gathering spot, and the Cheesborough Museum if history calls. Parks here lean toward the simple: fishing the river, a frisbee golf course, space to move without bumping into neighbors.

Estimates use a 6.66% 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.
