Rockford Hills Condominium
Strong schools draw families here
Median $230K·Walkability 4.3/10·Schools 7.3/10
You'll find Rockford Hills tucked on Castle Hill Drive, just minutes from downtown Rockford's shops and restaurants—and only about twenty-three minutes from downtown Grand Rapids if you need the bigger city. The community sits on two acres with ranch-style and two-story condos, each with an attached garage, patio or deck, and full basement. A mix of two-bedroom floor plans gives you around nine hundred square feet on the main level, and the buildings got fresh roofs in recent years. The neighborhood keeps things low-key with a homeowners association handling ground maintenance, trash, and sewer, so you're not sweating the upkeep. Pets under twenty pounds are welcome, too.

Crime in Rockford Hills Condominium 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 Rockford Hills Condominium home (around $230,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $41k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,530 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |

| 10% (+PMI) | $1,761/mo | $46,967 |

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.
