Windridge Estates
Quiet lots near top schools
Median $1.5M·Walkability 1.1/10·Schools 8.0/10
Windridge Estates spreads across 9 acres of generous lots—each averaging 1.24 acres—where you get real breathing room without feeling stranded; downtown Grand Rapids is about 20 minutes away, and the airport another four minutes past that. Homes here run around $308K, which means you're not pinching pennies but you're not stretching either, and students attend Forest Hills Public Schools. The Grand River Fulton Street Preserve sits 1.4 miles out if you want to walk the trails, and there's a boat launch at Ada just down the road if paddling is your thing—but the real gem is how many grocers and restaurants cluster within a couple miles, so you're never truly remote. It's the kind of place where a full acre under your feet feels genuinely achievable, and you're still woven into the fabric of the area around Honey Creek Avenue and 2 Mile Road.

Crime in Windridge Estates 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 Windridge Estates home (around $1,520,000) at today's 6.65% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $273k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $10,238 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

| 10% (+PMI) | $11,784/mo | $314,242 |

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.
