Oneida Hills
Surrounded by nature
Median $419K·Walkability 5.8/10·Schools 3.1/10
When you roll into Oneida Hills, you're greeted by tree-lined streets and homes built solid in the '50s and '60s—ranch-style, split-level, and bi-level—spread across 75 acres of winding roads with mature landscaping. The neighborhood sits within Shawnee Park, a residential pocket on Grand Rapids' southeast side where large lots (averaging 0.28 acres) give you real breathing room, yet downtown is just 14.8 minutes away when you need it. Median home values hover around $429K, and the Grand Rapids Public Schools district serves the area. You'll find a grocery store a three-minute walk away and restaurants—120 of them within a mile—ranging from casual to upscale, plus a coffee shop steps from most addresses. The nearest transit stop is practically on your doorstep, and Ottawa Hills High School Athletic Fields sit less than a mile south. It's the kind of place where suburban calm and urban convenience actually coexist without pretense.

Crime in Oneida Hills 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 Oneida Hills home (around $419,450) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $74k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,790 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |

| 10% (+PMI) | $3,212/mo | $85,654 |

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.
