Crime in Bay Meadows Lake is reported at the city level, not the neighborhood level.

For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Ottawa County.
Ottawa County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Bay Meadows Lake home (around $725,000) at today's 6.43% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $128k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $4,799 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

Estimates use a 6.43% 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 an APR or a commitment to lend — your actual rate and payment will vary.
