Evergreen Heights
Strong schools draw families here
Median $875K·Walkability 1.1/10·Schools 8.0/10
Early morning light hits these condos best—when the 12 acres still feel spacious and the tree canopy frames everything in soft green. Evergreen Heights is a small, deliberate community where each unit sits on nearly two acres, which means you're not living on top of neighbors. That kind of land is rare this close to Grand Rapids, especially at homes averaging around $886K. Downtown is just 18 minutes away, and the airport another 32 minutes beyond that, so commutes stay reasonable without feeling urban. The practical stuff works: a grocery store is less than a mile off, six restaurants within a mile if you don't want to cook, and a coffee shop about a mile and a half away. Six parks sit within a mile, and Duck Lake is 1.6 miles out if you're into water access. Students here feed into Chandler Woods Charter Academy. The nearest unnamed park is a reasonable 14-minute walk, and if you boat, the Rogue River Mouth Launch is 2.4 miles away. Nothing flashy, nothing overcomplicated—just a quiet condo community where acreage and proximity to the city actually balance out.

Crime in Evergreen Heights is reported at the city level, not the neighborhood level.

For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Kent County.
Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Evergreen Heights home (around $875,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $155k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $5,820 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|

| 10% (+PMI) | $6,700/mo | $178,680 |

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.
