Cordes Lake sits practically on the doorstep—less than a fifth of a mile away—which explains why this platted subdivision exists at all. The nearest restaurant is under a mile off, and if you need coffee, you're looking at a 2.5-mile drive, which you'll barely notice since you're out here for the water anyway. Pierson Township Park lands about a mile and a half down the road, so there's more recreation than just the lake itself. It's the kind of place where proximity to water isn't an afterthought; it's the whole premise.

Estimates use a 6.43% 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 an APR or a commitment to lend — your actual rate and payment will vary.
