Mill Brook Estates
Solid value in a growing area
Median $343K·Walkability 5.2/10·Schools 3.0/10
The tree line along the eastern edge of Mill Brook Estates catches afternoon light in a way that makes you forget you're 13 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. This 72-acre subdivision sits within Ken-O-Sha Park, where mid-century ranch and raised ranch homes run around $352K—the kind of place where you get actual land and a commute that doesn't eat your life. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and there's a transit stop steps away if you need it.

Crime in Mill Brook Estates 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 Mill Brook Estates home (around $343,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $61k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,281 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |

| 10% (+PMI) | $2,627/mo | $70,042 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $2,742/mo | $73,121 |
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.
