Walkability 5.5/10·Schools 6.0/10
Pull up to Osterhouses Sub and you're struck by the openness—half-acre lots with room to breathe, three acres of carefully platted land where new construction sits clean and unfussy. It's the kind of subdivision where you can actually see what you're buying, no surprises hiding behind overgrown landscaping. The West Ottawa Public School District serves the area, and you're close enough to Grand Haven's beaches for a nineteen-minute drive when the mood hits, yet still planted firmly in the Port Sheldon Street Area with all its practical access to town.
