Great schools with outdoor access

If someone asks what Serenity Ridge is like on the drive over, you'd tell them it's a hundred-twenty-four acre condo community where homes sit on nearly two acres each—so you've got actual land around you, not the usual shoulder-to-shoulder setup. The place is anchored in the D & B Plat Area, about thirteen minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which means you're close enough to the city that a weeknight dinner isn't a production, but far enough out that your backyard doesn't feel borrowed. Millennium Park Lake is less than a mile away, and Harmon Park sits just over a mile down the road if you want a place to walk without leaving the area entirely.

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.
