Clements Mill
Strong schools draw families here
Median $644K·Walkability 1.9/10·Schools 8.4/10
You walk in expecting a typical suburban condo block—the kind where everyone's parked in their driveway and the whole thing feels like it was stamped out of a mold. Instead you find 137 acres of actual land, with lots averaging a third of an acre, and a layout that actually breathes. It's near enough to downtown Grand Rapids (about 15 minutes) that you're not isolated, but far enough out that you get real space without the constant hum of being in the middle of things. The grocery store is less than a mile away, and there are a dozen restaurants within walking distance if you feel like exploring—coffee is a bit of a drive at 2.4 miles, but that's a small trade for what you get here. Homes run around $698K, and the Forest Hills Public Schools serve the area.

Crime in Clements Mill 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 Clements Mill home (around $644,050) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $114k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $4,284 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $4,284/mo | $114,234 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $4,932/mo | $131,518 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $5,149/mo | $137,298 |
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.
