Rosecrest No. 1 sits on 16 acres in Shawmut Hills, where mature trees line winding streets and the land rolls gently toward northwest Grand Rapids. Lots average just under half an acre—enough breathing room without sprawl—and the homes here, ranging from $200K to well over $400K, span the usual suspects: Ranches, Cape Cods, and Colonials built through the 1950s and '60s. Downtown is about ten minutes away by car, and you're close enough to Grand Rapids Public Schools without feeling hemmed in by the city. Shawmut Hills Park is an eight-minute walk; there are half a dozen parks within a mile, and nearly fifty restaurants within reach—enough variety that you're not eating the same thing twice. The bus stop is four minutes on foot, the nearest grocery another nine, so errands don't require plotting.

Crime in Rosecrest No. 1 is reported at the city level, not the neighborhood level.

For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Kent County.
Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Rosecrest No. 1 home (around $486,750) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $87k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $3,279 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

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.
