Tebeau Plat
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $245K·Walkability 3.0/10·Schools 7.0/10
Tebeau Plat sits just a tenth of a mile from Camp Lake Launch, which says something about what drew people here—the subdivision's 13 acres were platted with water access in mind, and the boating site is practically at the property line. Lots average around 0.37 acres, modest enough that the whole development feels compact, and you're walking distance to Camp Lake itself, half a mile away. There are a couple of parks within a mile if you need more than the immediate shoreline access. Groceries and restaurants aren't on the doorstep—the nearest grocery is 2.7 miles out—but downtown Grand Rapids is a reasonable 26 minutes away. Homes here run around $331K, and the area falls under Sparta Area Schools.

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.
