Lemke Sub
Lake life, small town feel
Median $298K·Walkability 4.7/10·Schools 5.5/10
Robbins Road cuts through this 20-acre subdivision with the kind of modest, straightforward character you'd expect from a place where the lots average just a third of an acre and homes run around $490K. It's compact—the sort of neighborhood where you're never far from anything, which is partly the point: four parks within a mile, thirty-six restaurants within walking distance, and eighteen grocery stores within two miles means you can live here without treating every errand like an expedition. Grand Haven Area Public Schools handles the schools, and if you want the beach, it's a six-minute drive. The best part lands last: downtown Grand Rapids is under fifty minutes away, which means you get the space and pace of something smaller without actually being stranded.

Crime in Lemke Sub 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 Ottawa County.
Ottawa County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Lemke Sub home (around $297,500) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $53k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,979 (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.
