The Homestead No 2
Strong schools draw families here
Median $673K·Walkability 1.2/10·Schools 8.7/10
If you've lived anywhere else, you know the difference between a place with space and a place that just calls itself spacious. Here, each home sits on an average of 1.51 acres—enough that you're not watching your neighbor's dinner through the window, but close enough that you're still part of something. The 30-acre community has the low-density feel of rural Michigan without the actual isolation; a grocery run is 1.7 miles, a decent coffee shop about 1.5 miles, and downtown Grand Rapids is a straightforward 23.8-minute drive when you want it. The nearest park lands at Jamestown Township Community Park, less than two miles away, which means you get the land without completely divorcing yourself from the actual world. Hudsonville Public School District serves the area, and the whole setup sits in the 32nd Avenue & Riley Street Area, where a dozen grocery stores cluster within a two-mile radius—the kind of redundancy that means you're never scrambling for basics. Homes here run around $1.2 million, which in a place this deliberately low-key speaks to what you're actually buying: acreage, breathing room, and the kind of neighborhood where you can still get a bagel without leaving your car idling for ten minutes.

Ottawa County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced The Homestead No 2 home (around $672,500) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $119k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $4,473 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

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.
