What surprises most people about Bouws Plat is how much land you get—six acres of a platted subdivision where the average lot runs nearly half an acre, enough room to actually exist without hearing your neighbor's dinner plans. Homes here run around $398K, and you're looking at everything from Ranches to Colonials, mostly built in the 1950s and '60s, the kind of mid-sized stock that works whether you're a first-time buyer or scaling down. Forest Hills Public Schools serves the area, and downtown Grand Rapids is about ten minutes away when you need it.
