Median $575K·Walkability 2.6/10·Schools 5.3/10
The mature trees here—towering pines and oaks that have been standing since the community was built in 2000—create a canopy so complete that even on bright days the streets feel sheltered, private. Fifty ranch-style condos with daylight and walkout basements sit across 26 acres in the northeast corner of Grand Rapids, a quiet development where wildlife (deer, fox, heron, wild turkey) moves through the grounds as freely as the residents do. The floor plans run 2 to 3 bedrooms from around 1,700 square feet, with the kind of open kitchens and master suites designed for people who actually use their living rooms, and homes run around $644K with a monthly fee of $380 that covers lawn care, snow removal, water, sewer, and exterior upkeep—the kind of math that lets you stop thinking about maintenance. Downtown is 11.5 minutes away by car, and the airport another 9 minutes past that, which means you're close enough to the city's momentum without living in it.

Crime in Cross Creek North 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 Cross Creek North home (around $575,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $102k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $3,824 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |

| 10% (+PMI) | $4,403/mo | $117,418 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $4,597/mo | $122,578 |
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.
