Northview Highlands No. 1 sits on 13 acres of modest, thoughtfully-sized lots—each around a third of an acre—where homes hover around $314K and you're genuinely close to things without feeling cramped. The nearest restaurant is less than a mile away, and there are 36 more within walking distance if you're the exploring type; a grocery and coffee shop are both under a mile too. Five parks within a stone's throw, including Grand Isle Township Park less than a mile out, and the Rogue River Mouth Launch at 1.2 miles if you've got a boat to consider. Downtown Grand Rapids is a brisk 16 minutes away, which means you can live here and actually mean it when you say you're close to the city. The whole thing is part of the Northview Highlands Area, served by Northview Public Schools, and positioned in that sweet spot where you get real access without the density tax.

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.
