Belvedere Heights
Surrounded by nature
Median $344K·Walkability 5.8/10·Schools 4.1/10
Belvedere Heights sits on 24 acres where you can walk to Mulick Park in five minutes, grab coffee a mile down the road, or catch The Rapid practically from your front door—the kind of location that makes an 11-and-a-half-minute drive to downtown feel less like commuting and more like a choice. The subdivision's modest lots and brick-and-frame homes, most built in the mid-twentieth century, give the streets a lived-in character you don't manufacture; 18 restaurants and a grocery within a mile means the neighborhood handles its own needs without fanfare. Homes run around $287K, and Forest Hills Public Schools serves the area. It's the edge of Southeast End—close enough to everything that matters, far enough away that you still have room to breathe.

Crime in Belvedere Heights 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 Belvedere Heights home (around $343,500) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $61k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,285 (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.
