Walnut Hills Condominium
Walkable and connected
Median $210K·Walkability 6.0/10·Schools 5.5/10
Walnut Hills Condominium sits on nine acres in the Shaffer Ave & 36th St area, with Gerald R. Ford International Airport just under ten minutes away and downtown Grand Rapids a short drive to the east. The location gives you quick access to the wider city without feeling consumed by it—you're close enough to everything that matters, far enough that you can breathe. A transit stop is essentially at your doorstep, which means the car stays home more often than you'd expect. Around you, there are thirty-six restaurants and grocery stores within a couple of miles, so running errands is genuinely straightforward. A dog park sits three minutes away on foot if you've got a four-legged friend, and five parks dot the surrounding mile.

Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Walnut Hills Condominium home (around $209,750) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $37k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,395 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $1,395/mo | $37,203 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $1,606/mo | $42,832 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $1,677/mo | $44,714 |
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.
