Head out toward the eastern edge of Sullivan township, where Old Hilton Park Road and Wolf Lake Road carve through roughly 1,300 acres of residential space, and you've found a pocket that feels removed without being remote. The area spreads across land that gives you room to breathe—this isn't dense—and it's studded with the kind of practical infrastructure that keeps daily life simple: a grocery store about 4.6 miles out, a park roughly 2.2 miles away when you need green space. Grand Haven's beach sits about 27 minutes north if you want the lakeshore, while downtown Grand Rapids is under 50 minutes when you're headed that way. Schools fall under Oakridge Public Schools, and homes here run in the mid-range for the region. It's the kind of neighborhood where you're buying space and a quiet address, not proximity to the city pulse.

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.
