Hill Top Add.
Surrounded by nature
Median $375K·Walkability 5.2/10·Schools 4.1/10
The lots here are small—barely a fifth of an acre each—which means you're not fighting much lawn, and the whole subdivision sits within a block or two of Cambridge Park, where a real morning walk takes maybe 120 seconds. Homes median around $307K, anchoring Hill Top Add. as an approachable entry point in Southeast End, where downtown Grand Rapids is just 11 minutes north and the Gerald R. Ford airport sits 18 minutes east. A dozen restaurants and a grocery within a mile keep daily errands short, while transit stops are steps away if you need them. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the subdivision, and six parks cluster within a mile—enough to mean you're never far from grass and playgrounds. The neighborhood density, modest lot sizes, and walkable access to amenities define the character here: close-knit blocks where the subdivision's 14 acres fit naturally into the larger fabric of Southeast End's postwar housing stock.

For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Kent County.
Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Hill Top Add. home (around $375,100) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $67k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,495 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |

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.
