You're right in the thick of it here—Midway Camp Area sits on 247 acres of land where most lots clock in around 13.81 acres, so there's real breathing room between houses. The nearest grocery and restaurant are literally steps away, which is a nice surprise for somewhere this rural-feeling; there's also a coffee shop about a 10-minute walk if you want to make it part of your morning. With 95 restaurants within a mile and 20 grocery stores within two miles, you've got decent variety without feeling hemmed in by strip mall sprawl. Fannie Pell Park is just 1.2 miles down the road if you're after green space. Kids go through Plainwell Community Schools, and you're about 42 minutes to downtown Grand Rapids if you need that drive. The whole area sits within Gun Plain township, where most people own their land outright—homes here run around the mid-$200s to low $300s depending on what you find.

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.
