Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Emerald Lake Condominiums home (around $1,148,971) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $204k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $7,642 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

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.
