Biking through Windemere feels like moving through a residential pocket that actually respects the space between homes—24 acres carved into lots averaging less than half an acre each, which means you get some breathing room without the sprawl of a true subdivision. The condo layout reads as thoughtfully dense, the kind of place where you can reach John H. Bonnell Park in a six-minute walk and still have three other parks within a mile if you're the type who rotates where you stretch your legs. Downtown Grand Rapids sits 11.8 minutes away by car, and Gerald R. Ford airport is 14.4 minutes out, so the location trades density for genuine proximity to both the city and the route out of it. Homes here run around $635K, which positions the community in the middle-to-upper range for the area—not the highest ceiling, but not entry-level either.

Crime in Windemere 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 Kent County.
Kent County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Windemere home (around $570,000) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $102k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $3,839 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $3,839/mo | $102,383 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $4,419/mo | $117,841 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $4,614/mo | $123,036 |
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.
