The beach is four minutes away—that's the thing to know before you drive out here. This stretch of Grand Haven city sits close enough to the water that the geography shapes everything: modest ranch homes and updated bungalows on double-wide lots with room for a fire pit, brick Cape Cods with character ceilings and hardwood floors, the occasional waterfront condo with river views that change with the light. You're looking at 461 acres where a coffee shop or restaurant is steps from your front door, where a grocery is a short walk and Eastern Park is six minutes on foot. Scott Flahive Memorial Launch sits just off the neighborhood if you've got a boat; eighteen parks thread through within a mile. The real draw isn't novelty—it's density without density, a place where you can walk to dinner and still have a driveway and a yard, where Grand Haven Area Public Schools anchors the blocks, and downtown Grand Rapids is less than an hour's drive when you need it, but the lake and the boardwalk are already yours.

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.
