Area Guide
Nelson Muskegon, MI
Soak up the small-town, Midwestern charm in Nelson. This sizable neighborhood encompasses downtown Muskegon, a large section of shoreline, and a large residential area filled with modest detached homes and newer apartment buildings. The north end places you within walking distance of downtown bars and restaurants; if you prefer a quieter atmosphere, take a stroll down the tree-lined avenues near Mercy Health Hospital. During Michigan's warm summers and colorful autumns, Nelson residents make a beeline for the lakefront Heritage Landing to walk or bike by the water and attend events such as the Coast West Music Festival and the Michigan Irish Musical Festival. Year-round, Western Avenue in the downtown area buzzes with locals out to sample a Shovelhead beer at Unruly Brewing or indulge in a wood-fired Foundry Smoke pizza from the onsite Rebel Slice. Just five miles west, Lake Michigan offers miles of white-sand beaches.
