Wabasis Cove
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $510K·Walkability 1.0/10·Schools 7.0/10
Wabasis Cove sits on 46 acres of land where each condo lot averages 2.13 acres—meaning you're not sharing walls with your neighbor, you're sharing a road. The community centers on Wabasis Lake, just 1.2 miles away, and residents have quick access to a boat launch at Wabasis Lake Park, about 2 miles out. Wabasis County Park lies 1.8 miles down the road if you want something closer for a walk or a quick outdoor break. The median home value here runs around $39K, which reflects the appeal of acreage without urban proximity; downtown Grand Rapids is about 38 minutes away by car. You'll need to drive roughly 4 miles to reach a grocery store, so this is genuinely a place where you own space first and accept the trade-off of distance second. Schools fall under Greenville Public Schools, and the condo model here means you own your lot with considerably more breathing room than traditional subdivisions offer. It's the kind of setup that works if waterfront access and land matter more than walkability.

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.
