Curious what people think. I'm retired and Household incomes average around $73,390 in Norton Shores. With a population of 25,000, Norton Shores is a small town. Rent is about $1,286/month for a decent place. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up. The city has invested a lot in new development. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
