R.H. Post'S First Add
Surrounded by nature
Median $250K·Walkability 5.7/10·Schools 4.6/10
The one thing to know: you're about a half-mile from downtown, which means the beach at Grand Haven is 37 minutes away if you need to clear your head on a Saturday. Homes here run around $354K on lots barely bigger than a postage stamp—this is a 3-acre subdivision where density isn't a bug, it's the point. Transit is essentially at your doorstep, dining is legitimately walkable (102 restaurants within a mile, coffee and something to eat both a six-minute walk), and Heinz Waterfront Walkway is close enough for a quick break. Vanderbilt Charter Academy serves the area. It's the kind of tight, urban-flavored pocket where you're not buying land so much as buying proximity—to restaurants, to transit, to the water when you want it.

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.
