When you first roll in, you notice the space—wide lots carved out among trees, driveways that stretch, and the sound of quiet instead of traffic. Homes here sit on generous acreage, many backing onto Rice Creek or perched on land that feels genuinely yours. A few properties touch the water; others spread across five, six, even seven acres with ponds and room for outbuildings. The area has a rural character without being remote—Artman Park and Cordes Lake are both under a mile away, and a restaurant is similarly close if you don't feel like cooking.

Crime in Tri County is reported at the city level, not the neighborhood level. The FBI doesn't publish reliable crime rates for individual neighborhoods, and within any community crime varies street to street. For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Montcalm County.
Montcalm County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Tri County home (around $407,500) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $73k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,745 (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.
