Hampshire Highlands
Surrounded by nature
Median $390K·Walkability 4.7/10·Schools 3.4/10
Your daily drive to Gerald R. Ford Airport takes about 14 minutes—short enough that a flight before noon doesn't feel like a planning nightmare. Hampshire Highlands sits within Ridgemoor Park, a 58-acre subdivision of quarter-acre lots where colonial and ranch homes run around $362K, close enough to downtown Grand Rapids (15 minutes) that you're not sacrificing access for space. The grocery is a 7-minute walk, coffee another 7, and 72 restaurants cluster within a mile, so the errands don't pile up into a road trip. A transit stop sits steps away if you need it. Calvin University Ecosystem Preserve anchors the area a mile out, and Reeds Lake—worth the short drive—offers a real break from the residential grid. Schools fall under Grand Rapids Public Schools, and the whole setup feels like the kind of place where you can actually get somewhere without planning it three days ahead.

Crime in Hampshire Highlands 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 Hampshire Highlands home (around $390,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $69k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,594 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

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.
