Ridgemoore North
Strong schools draw families here
Median $513K·Walkability 2.0/10·Schools 9.0/10
The ridge itself—a gentle rise that threads through the subdivision—is what stays with you: not dramatic, just enough slope to give the streets character and sight lines that break up the 22 acres into smaller, almost secret pockets. Homes here run around $426K and sit on roughly half-acre lots, with Forest Hills Public Schools serving the area. Downtown Grand Rapids is just 14 minutes away, yet you're close enough to Lamberton Lake Fen Nature Preserve—less than a mile out—that the woods feel like part of the neighborhood rather than a destination. Eighteen restaurants cluster within walking distance, a grocery is about a mile down the road, and the dog park sits a 10-minute walk away, which means the place has the ordinary rhythms of a lived-in suburb without feeling isolated from what matters.

Crime in Ridgemoore 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 Ridgemoore North home (around $512,500) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $91k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $3,409 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

| 10% (+PMI) | $3,925/mo | $104,655 |

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.
