Westville
Solid value in a growing area
Median $243K·Walkability 1.0/10·Schools 5.0/10
Driving out here feels like stepping back—quiet county roads opening onto acreage, farmland stretching between modest homes and the occasional barn. The area sits about 74 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which means you're genuinely rural, far enough that the pace slows and the land sprawls. Homes on these roads tend to sit on real acreage, often with room for a workshop or outbuildings, and recent sales show a mix of ranch layouts, updated kitchens, and serious land. The landscape tilts toward country living—ponds, tree lines, decks facing long views—with McBride Village Park just 1.8 miles away for a quick outing, and Hemmingway Lake not much farther if you want water access.

Crime in Westville 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 Montcalm County.
Montcalm County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Westville home (around $243,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $43k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,616 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $1,616/mo | $43,100 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $1,861/mo | $49,622 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $1,943/mo | $51,803 |
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.
