You'll notice the tree line right away along Stearns Bayou—it's one of the things that makes this condo community feel a little set apart from the typical West Michigan subdivision. The development sits on just over an acre, with units built on lots averaging three-quarters of an acre each, so there's actual land breathing around you instead of the cramped shoulder-to-shoulder feel you get elsewhere. Location-wise, you're roughly 11 minutes from Grand Haven's beach, so summer weekends are genuinely easy, and the Odawa/Battle Point Boat Launch is just a short walk if you're into the water. Downtown Grand Rapids is about 42 minutes away if you need that occasional dose of city energy. The Grand Haven Area Public Schools serve the area, and while the nearest grocery is a few miles out, you're close enough to real amenities without being hemmed in by them. It's that balance a lot of people are after—some room to move, some nature nearby, and quick access to what matters.

Estimates use a 6.65% 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.
