Boelens Sub
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $330K·Walkability 4.4/10·Schools 8.0/10
You're looking at seven acres of mid-sized lots—each running about a third of an acre—where homes hover around $509K and you're never far from something to do or eat. The nearest restaurant is a reasonable walk, and there are fifty-four of them within a mile if you're not in the mood to cook; the grocery is less than a mile away, and twelve parks sit within walking distance, with South Buchanan Street End Park about a twelve-minute stroll. Grand Haven's beaches are under nine minutes by car, while downtown Grand Rapids is a straight shot at just under forty minutes, so you get the smaller-town feel without total isolation. Spring Lake Public Schools covers the area, and the whole setup sits within the larger Kosters Assessors Plat No 2 Area, the kind of established plat where streets are laid out and neighbors have had time to plant trees.

Crime in Boelens Sub is reported at the city level, not the neighborhood level.

Ottawa County crime & safety stats →To buy a median-priced Boelens Sub home (around $329,900) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $59k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,194 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

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.
