Top 5 things I love about Norton Shores

Jacob Nov 8, 2025

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 9 years ago from Houston and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Highland. It's pretty good for what you get.

Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in tech. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.

People: Generally underrated. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: average. Tons of options if you like Asian.

Feel free to reach out with questions..

I've been living here for 10 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The dating scene is surprisingly good compared to other places I've lived. Overall No regrets on my end..

Bought a house here in 2019 and it was the best decision I ever made. Property values have gone up significantly since then.

I'm a lawyer and I've found it's not perfect but it works for me. The community is underrated and there's always something going on.
