Sheldon Shores sits on thirteen acres of cleared land between Lake Michigan and the Grand Rapids sprawl, with Sloan Pond about a mile and a half south and the dune-backed beaches of Grand Haven a twenty-minute drive away. The subdivision spreads across larger lots—three-quarters of an acre on average—which means you're looking at genuine distance between houses, not the cramped shoulder-to-shoulder grid you find closer to the water. Homes here run around two million dollars, which buys you the kind of land where you can actually breathe.

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.
