Frank Bouma Plat
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $317K·Walkability 5.6/10·Schools 7.0/10
You'll feel the suburban density as soon as you turn in—older homes on modest lots, trees lining streets that connect to something bigger without overwhelming the block itself. Frank Bouma Plat sits in the Douglas Add. Area, a 10-acre subdivision where homes average just over a quarter-acre, keeping things compact and lived-in. The median home value hovers around $282K, and you're close enough to downtown Grand Rapids (15 minutes by car) that commuting doesn't eat your day, yet far enough out that you've got room to breathe. Grandville Public Schools serves the area, and within a short walk you'll find a transit stop, a grocery store, and plenty of restaurants—the neighborhood sits in a dense pocket with over 160 dining options within a mile. Heritage Park is a three-minute walk away, and Kenowa Lake sits less than a mile off, so outdoor access isn't something you have to plan for; it's just there.

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.
