Paris Highlands
Room to spread out, great value
Median $340K·Walkability 5.6/10·Schools 3.5/10
You've got room to breathe out here—10-acre lots mean you're not hearing your neighbor's lawnmower, and the daily drive to downtown Grand Rapids is just 15 minutes, so you're not spending your life on the highway. Paris Highlands sits inside Ridgemoor Park, a tree-lined neighborhood with mid-century homes that run bigger than you'd expect, and the median home value hovers around $346K. Grocery stores, coffee, and restaurants are right there when you need them, and you're close enough to Reeds Lake for a weekend thing without it defining your address. Grand Rapids Public Schools handles the schools, and there's real park access nearby—Mulick Park is just over a mile out. It's the kind of place where you get land and quiet, but you're not actually cut off.

Crime in Paris Highlands 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 Paris Highlands home (around $340,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $60k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,261 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $2,261/mo | $60,305 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $2,604/mo | $69,430 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $2,718/mo | $72,481 |
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.
