Hillside Farm Meadows
Solid value in a growing area
Median $635K·Walkability 1.1/10·Schools 4.5/10
When you turn onto the drive, the first thing that hits you is the space—thirty-three acres of it, with homes set on lots that average a quarter of an acre each. Trees frame the community, and there's genuine separation between houses; you're not living on top of neighbors. The condo model means less maintenance headache without sacrificing land. They're positioned in the 3 Mile Rd & Knapp St Area, close enough to downtown Grand Rapids that the commute is just over sixteen minutes, yet far enough out that you're surrounded by green space and quieter streets.

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.
