Crime in Little Blue Lake 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 Muskegon County.
Muskegon County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Little Blue Lake home (around $200,000) at today's 6.55% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $36k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,337 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

Estimates use a 6.55% 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.
