Olde Millpond
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $330K·Walkability 3.9/10·Schools 7.5/10
What surprises people about Olde Millpond is how much breathing room you get for the price. This is a 23-acre condo community where the median home runs around $509K—not a cramped urban cluster or a sprawling exurb, but something in between that actually works. You're 21 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which means you can be in the city's orbit without living in it. The nearest coffee shop is a 10-minute walk; grocery stores are within reach; restaurants number in the dozens nearby. There's an unnamed park two minutes away, and if you count within a mile, you're looking at 22 parks total. It's the kind of place where you can have land without sacrificing access.

Crime in Olde Millpond 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 Olde Millpond home (around $330,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $59k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,195 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |

| 10% (+PMI) | $2,527/mo | $67,388 |

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.
