Solid value in a growing area
Median $290K·Walkability 3.0/10·Schools 6.2/10
Driving through Level Acres, you move past modest homes on quarter-acre lots arranged in a tight grid—the kind of neighborhood where you can reach the grocery store or a restaurant on foot, and downtown Grand Rapids pulls into view in about twelve minutes. It's fourteen acres of straightforward residential living, no flourish, just solid footing in a part of Grand Rapids where you're within reasonable distance of seventy-eight restaurants and a dozen grocery stores, and Grotto Park sits less than a mile away if you want green space without leaving the immediate area.

Crime in Level Acres 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 Level Acres home (around $290,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $51k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,929 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $1,929/mo | $51,437 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $2,221/mo | $59,220 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $2,318/mo | $61,822 |
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.
