Ridge Avenue runs through a residential stretch where wooded lots and fenced backyards dominate the block—the kind of place where condo decks overlook trees and homes sit back from the street with room to breathe. You're minutes from Grand Haven beaches and Spring Lake, close enough that a 6.5-minute drive gets you to the sand, yet the neighborhood itself feels removed from the rush.

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.
