Median $875K·Walkability 1.9/10·Schools 8.6/10
You look out from Winterwood across 82 acres of what amounts to genuine space—the kind of acreage that makes you remember why you didn't stay in town. Each lot runs about 1.65 acres, which means you're not looking at your neighbor's roof line from your kitchen window. Downtown Grand Rapids is twelve minutes away when you need it; the airport is twenty. Close enough to be practical, far enough to feel like an actual choice.

Crime in Winterwood 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 Winterwood home (around $875,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $155k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $5,820 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $5,820/mo | $155,197 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $6,700/mo | $178,680 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $6,995/mo | $186,532 |
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.
