It's got a surprising amount of land for a subdivision—97 acres spread across what feels like a real neighborhood rather than a cramped grid—and you're right in the pocket between downtown Grand Rapids and the airport, about 18 minutes to either one depending on traffic. Forest Hills Public Schools feeds the area, and there's enough going on nearby that you're not stuck: a coffee shop and a couple of restaurants are just over a mile away, groceries within walking distance, and Lions Park about a mile down the road if you want some green space without leaving the subdivision. The whole thing sits near Cascade Road and Burton Street in that sweet spot where you can actually get somewhere but it doesn't feel like you're living on top of everything.

Crime in Tammarron 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 Tammarron home (around $970,000) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $174k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $6,534 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $6,534/mo | $174,231 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $7,520/mo | $200,536 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $7,852/mo | $209,378 |
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.
