1 home for sale·Median $379K·Walkability 0.5/10
Early morning light hits this rural stretch of Montague township best, when the open land and tree lines come alive before the day gets busy. The Meinert Rd & N 24th St area spans 4,427 acres of working landscape—the kind of place where you've got genuine space around you, with a coffee shop within a 7-minute walk and a grocery store roughly 1.4 miles out, so you're not totally disconnected from basics. Henderson Road Nature Center sits about 1.2 miles away for anyone wanting quick access to trails and green space. Your nearest restaurant lands around 1.3 miles down the road, and two grocery options exist within a 2-mile radius, which means you've got some choice without having to venture far. Homes here run in the lower range for the region, reflecting the quieter rural setting. The Grand Haven beach is about 37 minutes away if you want an easy weekend trip, and kids in the area attend Montague Area Public Schools. It's the kind of neighborhood where you're buying land and stillness as much as a house.

Crime in Clear Springs is reported at the city level, not the neighborhood level. The FBI doesn't publish reliable crime rates for individual neighborhoods, and within any community crime varies street to street. For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Muskegon County.
Muskegon County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Clear Springs home (around $378,950) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $68k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,553 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $2,553/mo | $68,067 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $2,938/mo | $78,343 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $3,067/mo | $81,798 |
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.
