The grid here is tight—0.21-acre lots stacked on 74 acres means you're living shoulder-to-shoulder with your neighbors, which either sounds claustrophobic or cozy depending on your mood. What keeps it from feeling cramped is that Jaycee Park is a four-minute walk away, and there are three other parks within a mile, so there's always green space to spill into. Grocery stores and restaurants are practically on your doorstep; you can grab coffee less than a mile out, and there are fifty restaurants within walking distance if you're tired of cooking.

For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Allegan County.
Allegan County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Original Plat home (around $257,500) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $46k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,734 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

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.
