Named for Maplewood Drive, the residential spine it grew up around, this pocket of Jenison sits about 15 minutes west of downtown Grand Rapids, just off the 12th Avenue and Bauer Road corridors in Georgetown Charter Township. The surrounding streets keep the theme going — Cottonwood Drive, Briarwood Avenue, Rosewood Street — a grid of tree-named lanes that filled in largely from the mid-20th century onward. There's no single platting date on record; what's here instead is the housing that came with that era: all-brick mid-century ranches, postwar bungalows, Cape Cods, and later two-story traditionals, many with hardwood floors, finished basements with rec rooms, fenced yards, and a fair number of in-ground pools. Scattered among the single-family blocks are smaller condominium and 55-plus communities — New Amsterdam Village, Pine Grove Estates, and the build-to-suit Maple Leaf Condos near the park.

Crime in Maplewood 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 Maplewood home (around $322,000) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $58k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,169 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $2,169/mo | $57,837 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $2,496/mo | $66,570 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $2,606/mo | $69,505 |
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.
