Forest Hills Condominiums
Strong schools draw families here
Median $220K·Walkability 5.5/10·Schools 8.8/10
What's different here is that you're living on sixteen acres where everything already exists—you don't have to choose between space and convenience. A grocery run is a five-minute walk, and there's a restaurant two minutes away when you don't feel like cooking, which means your routine doesn't split between "errands in town" and "home out in the suburbs." The condo community itself sits in a spot where you can reach downtown Grand Rapids in about sixteen and a half minutes, or Gerald R. Ford Airport in twelve, so commuting doesn't eat your day—and when you want coffee or a longer walk, Leslie E. Tassell Park is right there at fourteen minutes on foot. Homes here run around $266K, and the Forest Hills Public Schools district serves the area.

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.
