The Homes at the Range
Solid value in a growing area
Median $450K·Walkability 2.0/10·Schools 5.0/10
The one thing you'd notice pulling in is how the 13 acres just *breathe* — ranch-style homes spread across land that feels less cramped than most developments you've seen, and that matters when you're thinking about where to actually live. A grocery store is a four-minute walk, and there are two dozen restaurants within a mile, so you're not isolated, but you're not on top of anyone either. Downtown Grand Rapids is about 13 minutes away when you need it, though honestly most people find what they need right here — the coffee shops, the neighborhood park just under a mile out, the sheer number of grocers and restaurants tucked into the surrounding area. Homes here run around $447K, and they're mostly ranch-style, the kind of straightforward architecture that just works. The whole setup is anchored by Comstock Park Public Schools, which shapes a lot of the daily rhythm around here, and you've got a transit stop about a 13-minute walk away if you need it. It's the kind of place where you can actually see your neighbors' yards without feeling like you're in them, where the development doesn't announce itself but doesn't hide either — it's just solid residential ground that happens to sit in the 7 Mile Rd Area, close enough to the city's pulse without needing to live in it.

Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced The Homes at the Range home (around $449,900) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $80k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,992 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

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.
