Homecrest
Solid value in a growing area
Median $127K·Walkability 4.9/10·Schools 3.8/10
Tell someone you're heading to Homecrest and they'll picture a quiet neighborhood that actually has things nearby—because it does. This five-acre subdivision sits close enough to downtown Grand Rapids that you're there in nine minutes, but far enough out that the lots breathe a little; each one averages about a tenth of an acre, giving the place room to settle. Hillcroft Park is a short walk away, and four parks sit within a mile, so there's green space without having to plan a trip. A coffee shop is eight minutes on foot, groceries ten, and the nearest transit stop is five—the kind of access that doesn't announce itself but quietly makes life simpler.

Crime in Homecrest 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 Homecrest home (around $126,500) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $22k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $841 (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.
