I love the Norton Shores community, the school and the beauty. The dog parks in the area are full of friendly people always willing to help on another. The beaches bring tourism and pure beauty. The restaurants are great and allow much support for local owners. The roads of course could use some patch work, though that is a given in the state of Michigan. There is not an abundance of nightlife though not far is downtown Muskegon which brings more bars, and restaurants as well as great architecture, events and more!
It is a friendly town with lots to do! You just have to find the right places, and it is not hard to do so. The school district is great. The people who live here are kind and help their community by putting on events. It is never a boring place!
Lovely little community. Low house prices, close to wonderful lake Michigan beaches, and there are cute independent restaurants. Also, great beer selection!
