Longview
Solid value in a growing area
Median $335K·Walkability 4.9/10·Schools 5.5/10
Longview sits in the English Meadows Area, an 8-acre subdivision where lots average just over 0.4 acres—tight enough that downtown Grand Rapids is only about 10 minutes away by car. Homes here run around $304K, and they're zoned for Comstock Park Public Schools. The real draw is what's at your doorstep: a coffee shop and restaurant steps away, with 30 restaurants and 42 grocery stores within a mile, so the neighborhood punches well above its weight on dining access. Donald J. Lamoreaux Park is less than a mile off, and there are three more parks in the immediate vicinity—enough green space to balance the compact lot size and keep things from feeling cramped.

Crime in Longview 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 Longview home (around $335,000) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $60k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,256 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $2,256/mo | $60,172 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $2,597/mo | $69,257 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $2,712/mo | $72,311 |
Estimates use a 6.65% 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.
