Smith'S Lakeview Estates No. 1
Surrounded by nature
Median $275K·Walkability 3.3/10·Schools 6.4/10
You're about three miles north of Hastings, on land that slopes toward water. The neighborhood is low-key ranch country—updated homes on modest lots, the kind of place where a full basement and a detached outbuilding feel like real assets, and where someone bothered to do the kitchen right instead of just leaving it alone. Grocery, coffee, and dinner are all roughly a mile and a half away, close enough that you're not living in the middle of nowhere, far enough that the area stays quiet. The real draw is proximity to Twin Lakes, just half a mile south, and public boat access even closer—a ten-minute walk gets you to the water if you're serious about it. Gerald R. Ford airport is thirty-three minutes down the road when you need it.

Not an APR or a commitment to lend — your actual rate and payment will vary.
