Cherry Run
Solid value in a growing area
Median $625K·Walkability 2.4/10·Schools 4.1/10
Out here, the rhythm of the day shifts when you live surrounded by land—homes sit on larger lots where you can actually breathe, and the nearest nature preserve is practically your backyard neighbor. Many of the houses were built between the 1940s and 1980s, the kind of solid mid-century construction with fireplaces, hardwood floors, and room to grow into. You're on the northwest side of Grand Rapids, minutes from Blandford Nature Center and its 264 acres of trails and working farmland—the kind of place where you can walk outside and feel the difference between here and the rest of the city. The neighborhood itself is young, having established its own identity only in 2004, which means there's a genuine sense of people choosing to be here rather than just landing here by default.

Crime in Cherry Run 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 Grand Rapids.
Grand Rapids crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Cherry Run home (around $624,950) at today's 6.66% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $112k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $4,213 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $4,213/mo | $112,341 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $4,849/mo | $129,300 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $5,063/mo | $135,002 |
Estimates use a 6.66% 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.
