Countryview Estates
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $466K·Walkability 1.3/10·Schools 10.0/10
What strikes most people about Countryview Estates is how much land surrounds each home — the median lot here is 1.64 acres, which means there's genuine breathing room between houses across the community's 65 acres. The condo setup handles the maintenance burden while leaving you with yards that actually feel like yours, and homes run around $547K. Drive times matter here: you're about 13 minutes from Gerald R. Ford Airport and roughly 24 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which keeps the place accessible without feeling tethered to the city. Campau Lake sits 1.2 miles away with a boat launch close by at 1.5 miles, and Fred W. Ruehs Park is just over a mile out if you want trails or open space without leaving the immediate area. Dining options cluster nearby — there are 18 restaurants within a mile, and a 13-minute walk gets you to the closest one, so you're not entirely car-dependent for a night out. The area falls under Caledonia Community Schools, and the setting works well for anyone drawn to a quieter location that doesn't demand a long commute to either the airport or the city core.

Crime in Countryview Estates 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 Countryview Estates home (around $465,900) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $83k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $3,099 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

| 10% (+PMI) | $3,568/mo | $95,139 |

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.
