Pleasant Glen No. 1
Quiet lots near top schools
Median $523K·Walkability 3.5/10·Schools 7.8/10
Hemlock Drive curves through Pleasant Glen No. 1 with the kind of gentle authority that suggests someone actually thought about how a road should feel—not cramped, not sprawling, just right for the 26 acres and the 0.84-acre lots that define this subdivision. The median home value sits around $634K, which means you're getting genuine land here, the kind where your neighbors aren't close enough to narrate your weekend plans. Byron Center Public Schools handles the education side, while downtown Grand Rapids is a straight 15 minutes away if you need the city, and the airport runs another few minutes beyond that. A grocery and coffee shop both land within walking distance—under a mile—and there are 120 restaurants within a short drive, so you're not marooned. Gezon Park lies about a mile and a half away for the occasional afternoon, and the real charm here is the breathing room itself: enough acreage to feel like you've stepped back from the frantic, without actually stepping back at all.

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.
