Median $302K·Walkability 6.4/10·Schools 8.0/10
Single-story ranches line the gridded streets of this 204-acre subdivision, where the median home runs around $293K and you're never more than a few steps from a coffee shop, grocery, or transit stop—which matters when downtown Grand Rapids sits just 13 minutes away by car. Lot sizes average a quarter-acre, keeping things compact and walkable enough for a quick coffee run, though the real draw here isn't the stroll to dinner so much as the sheer density of options: 150 restaurants and 18 grocery stores within a mile or two, plus Walker Community Park a short walk down the block. West MI Academy of Environmental Science serves the area, and the subdivision anchors the broader Wilson Avenue Estates Area, a working part of the city where you get straightforward housing, immediate access to amenities, and the kind of convenience that comes from being genuinely close to everything that matters.

Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Chesterfield Heights home (around $301,500) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $53k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,005 (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.
