Sunset Gardens
Solid value in a growing area
Median $228K·Walkability 4.4/10·Schools 4.1/10
This 79-acre subdivision spreads across 0.15-acre lots filled with ranch homes that date back decades, and what makes it stick around is the sheer density of restaurants within a mile—90 of them—which means you're genuinely spoiled for quick dinner options whether you're craving something specific or just winging it. A grocery store sits less than a mile away, and a transit stop is practically at your doorstep, which matters if you're commuting downtown Grand Rapids (about 10 minutes by car). 40th Street Park is an 8-minute walk, and there are seven parks within a mile total, so there's actual green space threaded through the neighborhood without pretense. Homes here run around $242K, and Wyoming Public Schools handles the district—close enough to Gerald R. Ford Airport (21 minutes) that noise isn't a thing, but far enough that you're not sitting on the tarmac either.

Crime in Sunset Gardens 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 Sunset Gardens home (around $228,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $40k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,516 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|

| 10% (+PMI) | $1,746/mo | $46,559 |

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.
