The Cape Cod homes here sit on compact 0.18-acre lots—small enough that you're never far from a neighbor's porch, but big enough that the subdivision feels like its own pocket rather than a row of crowded houses. At 35 acres total, Crescent Heights has the feel of a real neighborhood within Creston, with a transit stop right at your doorstep and a restaurant literally steps away. Downtown Grand Rapids is about 7.5 minutes by car, which means you're close enough to catch dinner or hit the museums without the commute feeling like a chore.

Crime in Crescent Heights 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 Crescent Heights home (around $260,000) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $47k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,751 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $1,751/mo | $46,701 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $2,016/mo | $53,752 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $2,105/mo | $56,122 |
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.
