You're right in the thick of it here—walking distance to shops, restaurants, and grocery stores that line the main drag, with Michael McGraw Park just a quick stroll away if you want to catch some air. The neighborhood spreads across nearly a thousand acres, so you get plenty of room to breathe even though everything you need is close by. Ranch homes in brick and vinyl make up the backbone of the area, and it's the kind of place where downtown Grand Rapids or the airport are both about twenty minutes out, which means you're close enough to the city without feeling like you're living in it.

Crime in Ada Moorings 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 Ada Moorings home (around $799,698) at today's 6.76% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $145k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $5,433 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |

| 10% (+PMI) | $6,252/mo | $166,729 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $6,529/mo | $174,096 |
Estimates use a 6.76% 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.
