Peninsula Park
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $703K·Walkability 2.8/10·Schools 8.0/10
Peninsula Park sits twelve acres of platted subdivision near Myers Lake, where the nearest grocery and restaurant both live about three miles out—a trade-off for land that averages just over a fifth of an acre per lot and homes running around $526K. The school district here is Rockford Public Schools. Downtown Grand Rapids is about twenty-seven minutes away, and you're thirty-seven from the airport, which makes sense given how much space stretches between you and the commercial spine. What actually defines this place, though, is proximity to water: Myers Lake sits two-tenths of a mile away, and Myers Lake County Park—the kind with boat launches and actual shoreline—is a four-minute walk, which means summer mornings feel less like a subdivision and more like the reason you moved here.

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.
