The Gables
Surrounded by nature
Median $1.3M·Walkability 1.8/10·Schools 4.9/10
If you're headed to The Gables, the first thing you'll want to know is that you're about 7 minutes from Grand Haven beach—close enough that "let's go catch the sunset" is an actual weeknight plan, not a weekend production. The community sits on 15 acres in the Harbor Point Area, with homes running around $993K. You've got 66 restaurants within a mile, which sounds like a lot until you realize how many different dinner conversations that opens up. The nearest coffee shop is about a 15-minute walk, and a restaurant is closer—roughly 12 minutes on foot. Spring Lake is just over a mile away if you want to venture slightly beyond the community grounds. Downtown Grand Rapids is a straight shot, about 44 minutes out, so it's there when you need it without being so close that you're dealing with city noise.

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.
