Reeds Lake is just 0.6 miles away, along with seven parks scattered within a mile, including Remington Park practically at your doorstep. The subdivision itself is 35 acres of modest lots—about nine-tenths of an acre each—where homes run around $874K and you're in East Grand Rapids Public Schools territory. It's close enough to downtown Grand Rapids that 11 minutes gets you there, but the real draw is the density of what's nearby without the density of living there: 174 restaurants, 30 grocers, coffee shops, a transit stop, all within walking distance or a short drive. The subdivision sits in the Mary M. Bonnells Sub. Area, which means you get suburban breathing room without the isolation, something worth paying attention to if you've spent time in places that promised one and delivered the other.

Crime in Edgewater 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 Edgewater home (around $2,425,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $430k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $16,129 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $16,129/mo | $430,116 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $18,570/mo | $495,198 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $19,386/mo | $516,960 |
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.
