Pembroke Park
Surrounded by nature
Median $355K·Walkability 5.2/10·Schools 4.1/10
Early morning is when this place really shines—the tree-lined streets are quiet, the light hits those older brick homes just right, and you can actually hear yourself think before the day gets going. Pembroke Park sits right in the Southeast End, a 6-acre subdivision where homes cluster on modest lots (about a quarter-acre each) and feel genuinely connected to the neighborhood around them. You're a quick walk to Mulick Park, with five more parks within a mile, and downtown Grand Rapids is just under 12 minutes away—close enough that you're not sacrificing access for space. The median home here runs around $348K, and you've got a transit stop two minutes on foot, plus a dozen restaurants and a grocery store less than a mile away. Schools are served by Grand Rapids Public Schools, and the whole corner feels like that rare pocket where you can still find the bones of an older neighborhood without the price tag that usually comes with it.

Crime in Pembroke Park 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 Pembroke Park home (around $355,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $63k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,361 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|

| 10% (+PMI) | $2,718/mo | $72,493 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $2,838/mo | $75,679 |
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.
