Sand Creek Estates Area spreads across 23,000 acres of land where a 13-acre lot is the rule, not the exception—the kind of place where your nearest neighbor isn't your business. Homes run around $436K, and you're about 50 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids when you actually need to be there. The practical stuff lands close by: grocery stores and restaurants are steps away, with six of each within a mile, so you're not exactly roughing it. Silver Creek County Park sits 2.6 miles out if you want to get outside without much planning. This is Heath township country—spacious, deliberate, and refreshingly unbothered by the need to be trendy or talk about itself much.

Not an APR or a commitment to lend — your actual rate and payment will vary.
