Belmont Highlands
Strong schools draw families here
Median $585K·Walkability 1.0/10·Schools 8.2/10
Spread across 68 acres in the Belmont Ave & Northland Dr Area, this community sits about 19 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, with enough breathing room that you're not hearing the city but close enough that it doesn't feel remote. Lots here average 1.82 acres—the kind of size that gives you actual land, not just a yard—and homes run around $669K. A grocery store sits about 1.2 miles away, a restaurant and coffee shop each roughly a mile down the road, and a nameless park is a short drive at just over a mile. The neighborhood feeds into Chandler Woods Charter Academy, and you're 32 minutes from Gerald R. Ford airport when travel days come around. What actually defines the place is the land itself—those big lots mean mature trees, privacy screens, and the kind of space that makes neighbors feel genuinely separate from one another rather than stacked close.

Crime in Belmont Highlands 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 Highlands home (around $585,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $104k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $3,891 (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.
