Reflections Lake
Surrounded by nature
Median $365K·Walkability 2.2/10·Schools 7.8/10
You're looking at a quiet 45-acre stretch where the main draw is Kenowa Lake right at your doorstep—the kind of place where a Saturday morning might mean loading up a kayak before you've had coffee. It's about 16 minutes to downtown Grand Rapids if you need the city, and a grocery run tops out at a mile and a half, which keeps things from feeling too removed. Byron Township Whistlestop Park is less than a mile away if you want a change of scenery, and there's a restaurant within walking distance when the kitchen's closed for the day. The lake itself does the heavy lifting here—proximity matters more than most neighborhoods, and whether you're drawn to the water or just the idea of living this close to it, that's what you're getting.

Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Reflections Lake home (around $364,950) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $65k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,427 (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.
