Median $1.1M·Walkability 5.1/10·Schools 8.5/10
Living at Cascade Pointe means waking up on 27 acres where the condos feel genuinely spaced out—you get that rare blend of density and room to breathe. The median home value hovers around $1.0M, and what you're paying for is partly that breathing room itself: each lot averages 0.37 acres, which is more generous than the typical condo feel. The Forest Hills Public Schools district serves the community, and you're about 17 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids when you want the city, or just 13 minutes to Gerald R. Ford Airport if you're heading out. Within a single mile, there are 84 restaurants and 2 parks nearby—it's the kind of setup where you don't need much of a car commute to find coffee (10 minutes on foot) or grab dinner (8 minutes). The real kicker, though, is that the unnamed park sits just a 14-minute walk away, and there's a boat launch at Ada's Grand River spot about 3 miles out if you've got a kayak or small watercraft tucked away.

Crime in Cascade Pointe 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 Cascade Pointe home (around $1,100,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $195k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $7,316 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $7,316/mo | $195,104 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $8,423/mo | $224,626 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $8,794/mo | $234,498 |
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.
