Engle Heights
Quiet lots near top schools
Median $430K·Walkability 3.3/10·Schools 8.4/10
Driving through Engle Heights, you're moving through a forty-acre grid of brick ranches set on half-acre lots—the kind of neighborhood where streets are wide enough to feel open but narrow enough to read the place in one pass. Homes cluster around Northeast Park, which sits an eight-minute walk away, and the whole subdivision sits remarkably close to things: Gerald R. Ford airport is just over ten minutes south, downtown Grand Rapids about fifteen minutes east. A coffee shop lands less than a mile away, and over a hundred restaurants lie within a mile's radius, so dinner or a quick espresso run doesn't require much planning.

Crime in Engle Heights 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 Engle Heights home (around $429,900) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $77k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,896 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

Estimates use a 6.65% 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.
