Ottawa Hills No.One
Surrounded by nature
Median $615K·Walkability 5.0/10·Schools 4.0/10
The streets here wind like they mean it—tree-lined curves that loop back on themselves, making a two-block walk feel like you've actually gone somewhere. That's what happens when you build on a former golf course: the fairways become your roads, and you get a neighborhood where driving or biking feels intentional rather than obligatory. It's 36 acres of older homes, mostly colonial and Tudor, with the kind of curb appeal that suggests people actually think about their yards. Homes run around $583K, and you're nine minutes from downtown Grand Rapids if you need to be there.

For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Kent County.
Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Ottawa Hills No.One home (around $615,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $109k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $4,091 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

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.
