Young Forest Estates
Solid value in a growing area
Median $639K·Walkability 0.7/10·Schools 4.4/10
Late afternoon light hits the brick and stone facades of Young Forest Estates just right—when the sun sits low enough to warm the front entries and cast long shadows across the 1.86-acre lots. The condo community spreads across 18 acres in the 120th Avenue Area. There's breathing room here, the kind that comes from larger lots and thoughtful spacing rather than compressed density. The architecture has presence without demanding attention—solid, substantial, built to last.

Crime in Young Forest 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 Ottawa County.

Estimates use a 7.03% 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.
