Douma Plat
Walkable and connected
Median $273K·Walkability 6.9/10·Schools 4.7/10
What surprises people about Douma Plat is how much you get for so little acreage—six acres carved into lots averaging just 0.22 acres each, homes running around $273K, and you're still close enough to downtown Grand Rapids to get there in 14 minutes. The subdivision's real draw is its location in the 76th Street Industrial Park Plat Area, which sounds grim until you realize it means you're surrounded by errands (grocery in a 5-minute walk, 18 stores within two miles, 60 restaurants within a mile). Transit access is immediate—a stop is practically at your door—and Gerald R. Ford Airport is just 17 minutes away by car. You won't find a coffee shop within walking distance, but that's about the only thing missing. Attend Kentwood Public Schools, and you've got a compact, utilitarian corner of West Michigan where location and convenience matter more than land size.
