Stearns Bayou Sub
Quiet lots near top schools
Median $559K·Walkability 3.1/10·Schools 8.0/10
Stearns Bayou Sub is a five-acre subdivision with a handful of half-acre lots where homes average around $778K—the kind of quiet residential pocket where you're close enough to the water that a six-minute walk gets you to Odawa/Battle Point Boat Launch, yet far enough removed that you don't hear constant traffic. It's about eleven minutes to Grand Haven beach, which matters if you're the type to catch the sunset on a whim, and forty-two minutes to downtown Grand Rapids when you need the city proper. Grand Haven Area Public Schools serves the area, and your nearest grocery is a short drive at about four miles out. The appeal here isn't in rushing somewhere else—it's in having enough land to breathe while staying connected to what matters.

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.
