Camp Lake Resort
Surrounded by nature
Median $491K·Walkability 3.8/10·Schools 6.0/10
Camp Lake Resort sits on 29 acres of platted land where the subdivision's name actually means something—the eponymous lake is just a fifth of a mile away, and a public boat launch lies less than a mile down the road. Lot sizes average about a quarter acre, modest by rural Michigan standards, and homes run around $218K. The nearest restaurant is a couple miles off, groceries about three miles, so this isn't a walk-to-everything kind of place; you're trading convenience for proximity to water and Camp Lake Park, which borders the subdivision directly. Sparta Area Schools serves the area, and downtown Grand Rapids is a half-hour drive when you need the city. It's the kind of spot where the appeal is straightforward: lake access, reasonable prices, and enough space to breathe without being remote.

Crime in Camp Lake Resort 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 Camp Lake Resort home (around $491,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $87k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $3,266 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $3,266/mo | $87,087 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $3,760/mo | $100,265 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $3,925/mo | $104,671 |
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.
