When you turn onto the tree-lined streets of Rosecrest, the first thing you notice is the space—wide lots, mature trees overhead, and homes that actually have room to breathe. This twenty-three-acre subdivision sits in Shawmut Hills, where winding streets and rolling terrain give the whole place a settled, unhurried feel despite being right in the northwest section of Grand Rapids. They're built across half-acre lots on average, a real luxury in a neighborhood this close to the action.

Estimates use a 7.40% 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.
