Fairview Sub
Strong schools draw families here
Median $248K·Walkability 3.1/10·Schools 5.5/10
Fairview Sub sits on 16 acres of tightly platted lots—the kind of neighborhood where you're close enough to neighbors to hear their lawn mower, but far enough to have your own patch of ground. Homes here run around $325K, with lots averaging just under a third of an acre, which means you get actual yard space without acreage to maintain. A handful of restaurants sit within walking distance, and Mercury Park is a five-minute walk away if you need to move without getting in the car. The Grand Haven Area Public Schools serve the area, and the wider Lampe Sub Area gives you context for what's around you. Downtown Grand Rapids is about 47 minutes north if you need it; the Grand Haven beach is six minutes in the other direction, which means summer weekends don't require much planning.

Crime in Fairview Sub 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 Ottawa County.
Ottawa County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Fairview Sub home (around $247,500) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $44k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,646 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $1,646/mo | $43,898 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $1,895/mo | $50,541 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $1,979/mo | $52,762 |
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.
