Aberdeen Hills
Strong schools draw families here
Median $370K·Walkability 2.4/10·Schools 4.6/10
Platted across 22 acres in the North End, Aberdeen Hills sits about 12 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, where homes run around $386K and three parks fall within a mile of your door. The nearest restaurant is less than a mile away—a short drive or bike ride to dinner—while Huff Park is an 11-minute walk if you're looking to move without the car. Schools here feed into Grand Rapids Public Schools, and the nearest grocery store lands about 1.4 miles out, with thirty-six options within two miles if you're willing to shop around. It's the kind of subdivision where you're close enough to the city's pulse to reach it in under fifteen minutes, but far enough out that you get actual land and the slower rhythm of a residential block.

Crime in Aberdeen Hills is reported at the city level, not the neighborhood level. The FBI doesn't publish reliable crime rates for individual neighborhoods, and within any community crime varies street to street. For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Kent County.
Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Aberdeen Hills home (around $370,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $66k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,461 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|

| 10% (+PMI) | $2,833/mo | $75,556 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $2,958/mo | $78,876 |
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.
