Somerset Meadows
Solid value in a growing area
Median $728K·Walkability 0.9/10·Schools 4.2/10
The wooded lots here sprawl across 59 acres in the 7 Mile Rd Area, each one running about two acres—enough space that you're not watching your neighbor's dinner through the kitchen window. Condo living means someone else handles the roof, but the actual footprint feels more like a small estate than a typical community. Homes run around $961K. A grocery store sits 2.3 miles away, and if you're craving coffee or dinner, you're looking at roughly a mile and a half to either, which you'll cover in a quick drive rather than on foot.

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.
