Belmont
Solid value in a growing area
Median $246K·Walkability 6.0/10·Schools 4.6/10
Most people expect subdivisions to feel like cookie-cutter sprawl, but Belmont—a 69-acre plat of modest ranches in the Northeast corner—delivers something straighter: decent bones on small lots, reasonable prices around $216K, and genuine proximity to things. You're steps from a transit stop, a 6-minute walk to groceries, and restaurants blanket the area (168 within a mile). Downtown Grand Rapids sits 6.8 minutes away by car. The neighborhood association here stays active, and Eastern Park—with trails through old-growth woods where deer and wild turkeys show up—is a 15-minute walk. Schools feed into Lighthouse Academy. It's the kind of place where you can actually afford a yard and still hit downtown faster than most suburbs manage.

Crime in Belmont 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 Belmont home (around $245,750) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $44k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,635 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |

| 10% (+PMI) | $1,882/mo | $50,183 |

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.
