Broad Acres
Solid value in a growing area
Median $289K·Walkability 3.8/10·Schools 4.1/10
Broad Acres sits on 58 acres of gently rolling land in the Broad Acres Area, about 12 minutes south of downtown Grand Rapids—close enough to the city's pull without feeling pressed against it. The subdivision is a clean grid of ranch homes on quarter-acre lots, the kind of mid-century setup where you can actually see your neighbors' rooflines but not their dinner plates. Seventy-two 餐restaurants cluster within a mile, and you're a 6-minute walk to the nearest one; a grocery store sits just over a mile away. Wyoming Public Schools serves the area. Homes here run around $263K. There's a transit stop steps from the neighborhood, four parks within a mile—including Charles Lemery Park, a 10-minute walk away—and the Grandville boat launch is under three miles off if you're thinking about getting on the water. It's the kind of place where you've got breathing room but everything you actually need is close.

Crime in Broad Acres 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 Broad Acres home (around $288,500) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $51k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,919 (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.
