Walkable near top schools

Walking through Quimbys Add., you're never more than a few steps from a grocery, restaurant, or transit stop—the subdivision sits right in the thick of Creston's commercial corridor, where Plainfield Avenue's shops and eateries practically surround you. It's a tight 11-acre grid of modest homes on small lots, the kind of place where you can move between errands, coffee runs, and dinner without planning a drive. Sweet Street Park is a 10-minute walk away, and nine parks total sit within a mile, so there's green space nearby even if the neighborhood itself feels urban and walkable.

Crime in Quimbys Add. 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 Quimbys Add. home (around $275,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $49k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,829 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |

| 10% (+PMI) | $2,106/mo | $56,156 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $2,198/mo | $58,624 |
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.
