Bouman Plat
Quiet lots near top schools
Median $1.1M·Walkability 4.2/10·Schools 8.0/10
The lots here run wide—just over half an acre each—which means real breathing room on a compact 10-acre plot. Bouman Plat sits within the Bay Meadows Area, where eight parks cluster within a mile and an unnamed green space is a seven-minute walk away, making outdoor access genuine rather than theoretical. A restaurant or coffee shop lands about an 11-minute walk, while eighteen dining options sprawl across the surrounding mile, so you're neither isolated nor drowning in strip-mall sprawl. West Ottawa Public School District serves the area. Homes here run around $1.1 million median, pitched toward the quieter end of the greater market—close enough to Grand Haven's beaches for a weekend run (about 32 minutes), but set back from the tourist machinery. The nearest grocery sits 2.2 miles out, a short drive rather than a stroll, which tracks with the semi-rural character of the wider region.
