River Road Farms
Solid value in a growing area
Median $535K·Walkability 2.7/10·Schools 5.5/10
People often expect subdivisions to feel generic—rows of identical boxes on flat land. Instead, River Road Farms spreads across 56 acres, offering the kind of space and breathing room that actually justifies staying put. A restaurant sits steps away, while downtown Grand Rapids is just 14 minutes down the road, which means you're close enough to the city without living in it.

Crime in River Road Farms 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 River Road Farms home (around $535,000) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $96k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $3,604 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|

| 10% (+PMI) | $4,148/mo | $110,605 |

Estimates use a 6.65% 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.
