Eastmont
Walkable with great nature access
Median $589K·Walkability 7.7/10·Schools 8.6/10
Row after row of tree-lined streets slopes gently through this corner of the township, where mid-century bungalows sit alongside newer two-story homes on quietly manicured lots. The housing stock—mostly three- and four-bedroom single-family homes built between the 1970s and early 2000s, mixed with some apartment complexes—feels settled without feeling old, the kind of place where you actually recognize the rhythm of the neighborhood.

Crime in Eastmont 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 Eastmont home (around $588,750) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $104k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $3,916 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $3,916/mo | $104,425 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $4,508/mo | $120,226 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $4,707/mo | $125,509 |
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.
