Norton Shores Reviews
Rating 3.75 out of 5 55 reviews
Rating 4 out of 5
I have grown up, attended elementary through high school, worked, and have family in Norton Shores. I have enjoyed my experiences and memories that I have made in Norton Shores. I feel very connected to the town because I have family and friends there, and I will most likely move back there after graduate school. What I would like to see change is the diversity in food, people, places, and events. I believe it is on the right track, but I believe the area has a lot of potential to grow and evolve with the community that it serves.

There are not enough things to do in our area, but Grand Rapids is close enough. This area lacks diversity, but it is a welcoming community, so I am not sure how it is we became less diverse.

Norton Shores is a great place to live in! Great neighborhoods, schools, houses, and scenery. I grew up here and I am so grateful for that experience.
