You'll find this stretch sandwiched between US 131 and the Lake Michigan shoreline, with Hungerford Lake Recreation Area right at the edge and Route 10 running through. The horizon opens up to water—lake homes with sandy frontage, quiet roads, and the kind of inland quiet that comes from being tucked into West Michigan's resort country, about an hour and a half from downtown.

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.
