Park St & Laketon Ave Area
Surrounded by nature
Median $136K·Walkability 3.6/10·Schools 2.8/10
This neighborhood sits on the west side of Muskegon city, anchored by Park Street and Laketon Avenue, with restaurants literally steps away and a grocery store about a 10-minute walk. You've got 17 restaurants within a mile and three parks nearby, including Marsh Field, which takes 11 minutes to reach on foot. The coffee shops are a bit further out at around 12 minutes, but that's the trade-off for being close enough to downtown Muskegon and its maritime culture while staying residential. Homes here run in the mid-$80K range, and the Muskegon Public Schools of the City of district serves the area. Grand Haven's beaches are about 20 minutes away if you want a quick Lake Michigan run, and downtown Grand Rapids sits roughly 50 minutes south—close enough for a day trip without feeling like you're commuting.
