Streng & Gillelands Sub
Lake life, small town feel
Median $1.0M·Walkability 4.0/10·Schools 7.8/10
You might expect a small platted subdivision tucked into a lakeside area to feel disconnected, but this stretch punches well above its five-acre footprint—sitting minutes from both Grand Haven's beaches and downtown Grand Rapids, with Spring Lake just under two miles away for kayaking or sunset watching. The neighborhood itself has serious walkability: a coffee shop is a three-minute walk, restaurants number nearly 90 within a mile, and Mill Point Park sits five minutes on foot, with thirteen parks clustered nearby for recreation that doesn't require a car. Log cabins and cottage-style homes with lake access or deeded shoreline appear frequently in the sales history here, and the local listings emphasize cozy courtyard spaces, fireplaces, and waterfront views—the kind of place where you can launch a paddle board from the end of the street or grab dinner without driving far. It's within West MI Academy of Arts and Academics boundaries, and grocery shopping runs just over a mile away, making everyday life remarkably convenient for a place this quiet.

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.
