West Highlands No 3
Surrounded by nature
Median $330K·Walkability 3.7/10·Schools 7.3/10
...so yeah, West Highlands No 3 is out there in the Spring Lake area, which means you're getting that west-side living without being smack in the middle of everything—downtown Grand Rapids is about 45 minutes away if you need it, and you're literally ten minutes from Grand Haven beach, which is pretty sweet. It's a car-dependent kind of place, so don't expect to walk to dinner or grab groceries on foot, but Rycenga Park is a manageable walk if you want to get outside with the kids. At a median of $298K, you're looking at solid real estate for the money in that region, and you're in the Spring Lake school district.

For an accurate, comparable picture, see the jurisdiction-wide figures for Ottawa County.
Ottawa County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced West Highlands No 3 home (around $329,500) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $59k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,219 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $2,219/mo | $59,185 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $2,555/mo | $68,120 |

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.
