Driving through here, you notice the land first—low rolling hills and open space spread across 33 square miles, lots running two acres on average, the kind of room that doesn't feel cramped. Most of what you need sits within walking distance or a quick drive: a dozen restaurants and four grocery stores within a mile or two, a coffee shop about four minutes on foot. The township hall anchors the south side of Fremont Lake with a public boat launch, and there's a BMX and mountain-bike park with paths that came from the kind of joint planning between Sheridan, Fremont, and Dayton Township that was actually novel enough to be the first of its kind in Michigan back in 1986. Homes here run around $488K, and the creek systems tie into the Muskegon River watershed if you're thinking about the bigger water picture. Fremont Public School District serves the area. If you're looking to get to Grand Haven beach, you're looking at about 44 minutes down the road. The township is rural enough to feel removed but connected enough that you're not isolated—Sheridan Park sits just a 12-minute walk away if you want a quick outdoor break without going far.

To buy a median-priced Sheridan home (around $307,500) at today's 6.66% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $50k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,892 (principal, interest, property tax, and insurance).
The typical Sheridan household earns $76,548 — above what the median home requires. At that income, a buyer can afford roughly $486,000 with 20% down.
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $1,892/mo | $50,444 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $2,205/mo | $58,789 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $2,310/mo | $61,594 |
Estimates use a 6.66% 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 and median property taxes, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
