What might surprise you about Beckwith North is how much room you get for the money. This ten-acre subdivision in the Northeast sits on quarter-acre lots where most homes run around three hundred fifty thousand dollars—close enough to downtown Grand Rapids for an eleven-minute commute, far enough to actually have a yard and a driveway. The neighborhood developed mostly in the nineteen forties and sixties, so you get a mix of older brick and newer builds, all of them shaded by mature trees that draw deer, foxes, and wild turkeys into the wooded yards.

Crime in Beckwith North is reported at the city level, not the neighborhood level.

For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Kent County.
Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Beckwith North home (around $365,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $65k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,428 (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.
