Muskegon Heights Reviews

Write a review about Muskegon Heights Tell people what you like or don't like about Muskegon Heights…
Outdoorsman’s Paradise 2.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) I lived in Muskegon Heights, MI for a short time and it has an excellent cost of living and is conveniently located near state parks, restaurants, Muskegon Community College, and Muskegon County Airport. Unfortunately, it does have a high unemployment and crime rate and the winte ...Read More rs can be brutal with extremely cold temperatures and lots of snow.

If you enjoy being outdoors then Muskegon Heights, MI is located near P.J. Hoffmaster State Park which offers great ski trails in the winter and excellent hiking trails in the summer. Nearby is also Pere Marquette Park which is located on the shore of Lake Michigan and offers a great beach, volleyball, playground, full-service restaurant, and bar, as well as the World War II Submarine USS Silversides.

While there are some great places to visit that are conveniently located near Muskegon Heights, MI it is not a place where I would choose to live. There much better communities in and around the Muskegon area that are just as close to the parks and attractions listed above and have a significantly lower crime rate and better schools but may be a bit higher cost of living.
