You're looking at 15 acres of condo living in the Country Brook Estates Area, where the horizon opens up enough to breathe but you're still close enough to everything that matters. Homes here run around $1.0M, and what you get is a plot of about half an acre paired with the kind of setup where you're not maintaining a whole house but you're not stacked on top of your neighbors either. Gerald R. Ford Airport is just under 18 minutes away, and downtown Grand Rapids sits at roughly 19 minutes—close enough to get there without the commute feeling like a second job.

Crime in Storeybook 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 Storeybook home (around $1,107,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $196k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $7,363 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $7,363/mo | $196,346 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $8,477/mo | $226,055 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $8,850/mo | $235,990 |
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.
