This stretch of Spring Lake township sits on the western edge, where ranch homes line quiet roads and the air smells like lake water even when you can't see it. Grand Haven's beaches are twelve minutes away; downtown is pushing fifty, which means you're close enough to the water for weekend trips but far enough to actually own land and space. Three parks within a mile keep things green, and North Ottawa Dunes County Park is a short walk if you need trees and trails without the drive.

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.
