Little Harbor on the Hillsboro
Quiet lots near top schools
Median $520K·Walkability 1.0/10·Schools 8.0/10
...and what you get here is land—real land, nearly an acre per lot across eighteen acres that doesn't feel cramped or subdivided in the obvious way. Homes run around $753K, and they sit on the kind of footprint where you can actually have trees and breathing room without feeling isolated; downtown Grand Rapids is twenty minutes off, and Gerald R. Ford Airport about ten, so the geography works without demanding anything from you. Forest Hills Public Schools serves the area, and when you need groceries or a cup of coffee, you're looking at a short drive—the nearest restaurants and shops scatter across a couple of miles, which is the trade-off for having acreage instead of a shoebox lot. Shaggy Pines Dog Park sits just over a mile away if you've got a dog that needs running around, and the whole setup reads like a place where someone wanted room to breathe but didn't want to disappear into the country entirely.

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.
