You'll find Rivers Edge Estates No 1 tucked into the Berger Estates Area, a five-acre subdivision where homes run around $454K on lots that average just over a third of an acre. It's a short drive to downtown Grand Rapids—about 20 minutes—which means you're close enough to the city without being in it, and the Gerald R. Ford airport is roughly 35 minutes out if you're traveling regularly. Grand River Park sits just a seven-minute walk away, so there's green space nearby when you want it. The grocery store and restaurants land about two miles off, nothing you can't handle on a quick errand, and your kids would attend Jenison Public Schools. It's a straightforward, accessible spot in West Michigan—not flashy, just solid.

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.
