The moment you turn onto the streets here, you feel the scale—ten acres laid out with room to breathe, each lot running just over a third of an acre. It's the kind of subdivision where houses sit back from the pavement with actual yards, not the cramped feel of newer developments. Three parks are within a mile, and there's an unnamed park just a six-minute walk away if you want to move quickly. Downtown Grand Rapids is about fourteen minutes by car, and Gerald R. Ford airport sits even closer at just over twelve minutes—close enough that you're not spending your life in transit, far enough that you don't feel the hustle.

Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced College Heights No.2 home (around $405,000) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $73k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,728 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

Estimates use a 6.65% 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.
