Median $890K·Walkability 0.7/10·Schools 10.0/10
When you first hear "condo community," you might picture rows of lookalike units squeezed onto a postage stamp. Laurel Ridge flips that script—spread across 23 acres in the 52nd St & Whitneyville Ave area, each home sits on an average lot of just over an acre, which means actual space between you and your neighbors. Homes here run around $947K, and that land-to-building ratio is part of why. You're not stacked in; you're genuinely spaced out on real property, with Caledonia Community Schools serving the area.

Crime in Laurel Ridge 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 Laurel Ridge home (around $890,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $158k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $5,920 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $5,920/mo | $157,857 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $6,815/mo | $181,743 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $7,115/mo | $189,730 |
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.
