What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Muskegon Heights

Close to the grocery store and gas station . Quiet low traffic area. Great friendly neighbors . Close to the lake and park

I love the businesses nearby and that everyone is very friendly. We are near many types of different businesses and I live very close to work

The nature, I like being able to see wildlife on the regular and it's nice living by so many trees and having access to a little stream that runs by my backyard

It is near highways, stores, and a safe place. I enjoy getting grocery shopping done. Also, going to family gatherings.

We have restaurants within walking distance. We have a beach and really nice park nearby as well. I love that my Grandson plays with the neighborhood kids.

We usually like to go skiing in the winter and eat at different restaurants. In the summer, we always go camping with a large group.
