East Lake Condominium
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $900K·Walkability 3.2/10·Schools 8.8/10
So here's the thing—you get actual lake living without feeling isolated. Reeds Lake is just 2.0 miles away with water views and plenty of outdoor recreation, but you're maybe 10 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids if you need it, or 16 and a half minutes to the airport. The condos themselves are solid: built between 2006 and 2016, ranging from 1,700 to 3,000 square feet, with hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, high-efficiency windows. Some units have porches overlooking ponds and waterfalls. Homes run between $410,000 and $570,000, and your monthly condo fee is $425—that covers yard work and snow removal, which is kind of nice when you don't feel like dealing with it. The place is gated, pet-friendly, and comes with attached garages and basement storage, so there's room for actual stuff. Located in the Forest Hills Public Schools district. You've got six grocery stores within two miles and restaurants about a mile away, so you're not roughing it. Forest Hills Park is right there too if you want to get outside without a production. It's that sweet spot where you can have a quiet condo on the water but still reach everything else fast.

Crime in East Lake Condominium 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 East Lake Condominium home (around $900,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $160k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $5,986 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $5,986/mo | $159,631 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $6,892/mo | $183,785 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $7,195/mo | $191,862 |
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.
