Sheldon Dunes
Strong schools draw families here
Median $879K·Walkability 2.3/10·Schools 6.0/10
Sheldon Dunes sits on 20 acres of carefully platted land in the Port Sheldon Street Area, where each lot averages just over a third of an acre—enough space to breathe without sprawl. The subdivision draws its appeal partly from proximity: the Grand Haven beach is a 16-minute drive, and Zwemer Park sits a short walk away, with three more parks within a mile. Homes here run around $969K and feed into Grand Haven Area Public Schools. If downtown Grand Rapids calls, it's a 46-minute drive. The nearest restaurant is 2.7 miles out, so this is a place where the lot itself—and what's nearby in terms of green space—does more talking than walkable dining strips.

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.
