This pocket sits on the north side of the City of Wyoming, just southwest of Grand Rapids, and takes its name from one leg of the old GUB — Galewood, Urbandale, and Burlingame, three adjacent neighborhoods that grew up together in the early 1900s. The name reaches back further than that: north Wyoming's story starts in 1841, when West Michigan's first plaster quarry opened along Plaster Creek. Interurban electric trains arrived in 1901 and 1915, a refrigerator plant opened in 1908, and the factories along Godfrey and Grandville Avenues drew in workers who filled out these grid streets with houses. The platted core here — Nanninga & Setsma's Addition, a small run of streets like Aldon, DeHoop, and Tennyson near Clyde Park Avenue — sits at the southwest edge of the broader Urbandale that locals map between Hall Street, 28th Street, Burlingame, and Clyde Park. Treat the name as the best-fit label for this corner rather than a surveyed line.

Wyoming crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Urbandale home (around $252,900) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $45k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,682 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $1,682/mo | $44,856 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $1,937/mo | $51,643 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $2,022/mo | $53,913 |
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.
