Sherwood Forest
Walkable and connected
Median $245K·Walkability 6.2/10·Schools 4.1/10
Sherwood Forest sits in the Nanninga & Setsma Add. Area, just eight minutes from downtown Grand Rapids—close enough that you can catch a show or grab dinner without the trek, but far enough that the neighborhood feels separate. The subdivision itself is tidy and compact: 16 acres of modest lots (averaging a fifth of an acre each). What makes it click is the immediate access—transit is right there, a grocery store's a six-minute walk, and you've got 54 restaurants within a mile, so dinner options aren't a question. The nearest park, Sherwood Forest, is a five-minute walk, and there are three more parks nearby if you want variety. Wyoming Public Schools serves the area. It's the kind of spot where you're not buying space for its own sake; you're buying proximity and convenience, with downtown and Gerald R. Ford airport both under 25 minutes away.

Crime in Sherwood Forest 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 Sherwood Forest home (around $245,000) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $44k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,650 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $1,650/mo | $44,007 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $1,899/mo | $50,651 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $1,983/mo | $52,884 |
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.
