Lots here run 0.20 acres on average, so you're not dealing with sprawl; homes hover around $329K. There's a restaurant or coffee shop within a seven-minute walk, and you've got 72 restaurants within a mile if you want options. Mill Race Park is a quick stroll away, and Kenowa Lake sits just over a mile down the road when you want to get on the water.

Crime in Bouma Add. 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 Bouma Add. home (around $380,000) at today's 6.49% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $67k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $2,527 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |

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.
