Markers Cove
Surrounded by nature
Median $450K·Walkability 1.5/10·Schools 5.0/10
Sitting in the Harbor Point Area, Markers Cove unfolds across five acres with generous lot sizes that feel spacious without losing the practical scale of the subdivision itself. The shoreline of Spring Lake lies just a mile and a half away, and the Grand Haven beach—the kind of place you actually drive to on a summer evening—sits only seven and a half minutes south. Downtown Grand Rapids feels accessible at forty-five minutes, which means you're not commuting there daily but you're not cut off either. The immediate surroundings are dense with options: thirty-six restaurants and six grocery stores within a mile, a coffee shop just over the road, a park a short walk away, and six more scattered within a mile radius. Homes run around $1.0M on average lot sizes of about 0.38 acres, and the area is served by Walden Green Montessori schools.

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.
