Ravines North
Solid value in a growing area
Median $350K·Walkability 2.9/10·Schools 5.1/10
The first thing you notice about Ravines North is how compact it all is—twenty-three acres of condos where the lots average just under a fifth of an acre, which means the whole development has a genuine neighborhood feel rather than spreading itself thin. The architecture reads clean and contemporary, and there's a real sense of density without claustrophobia; you're close to neighbors, but the layout doesn't make you feel boxed in. Within walking distance, you'll find Covenant Park about nine minutes on foot, and there are three more parks within a mile, so green space is genuinely accessible rather than something you have to drive to find.

Crime in Ravines North 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 Ravines North home (around $349,950) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $62k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,328 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $2,328/mo | $62,070 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $2,680/mo | $71,462 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $2,798/mo | $74,602 |
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.
