A modest community near downtown Muskegon
Angell attracts those looking for a home priced under citywide norms, while at the same time a mile and a half from downtown Muskegon. “Angell feels like more than just its own neighborhood,” says Terry Puffer, a local Realtor and team lead with Five Star Real Estate. “It’s kind of part of downtown, but still very residential.” The neighborhood’s 50- to 100-year-old houses have a median price of $137,500, which is more than $50,000 below Muskegon as a whole. Residents can enjoy Angell’s leafy scenery with lots of trees in their yards, a neighborhood park, and even a cemetery, which is open for casual strolls.
Angell is a neighborhood in Muskegon near the lake with lower-than-average home prices.
Angell is located in the heart of Muskegon, a stone's throw from a number of things to do.

Single-family homes with competitive prices
Angell’s grid-pattern streets are lined with sidewalks and homes dating back to the early 1900s. Two- to four-bedroom Craftsman-style bungalows and two-story cottages make up a majority of these houses. However, there are some mid-century ranch styles as well. Homes are typically built on approximately eighth-acre lots with mature greenery, some of which are next to empty lots. A fully renovated home sells for around $150,000 to $180,000. Those needing some work range from around $45,000 to $140,000.

Fresh air at McCrea Playground and Oakwood Cemetery
McCrea Playground is closest to those who live on the south side of Angell, especially so for those on Catwaba Avenue. The 9-acre park includes a large grassy field with playground equipment and a basketball court. People can also step into the more shaded area full of mature trees and picnic tables. McCrea is right next to two cemeteries, including Oakwood Cemetery, one of the oldest in Muskegon, where people enjoy going for walks. “There’s a lot of history at Oakwood,” says Puffer, “A lot of old headstones, unique larger structures and a lot of trees.”

Elementary school choice is offered
Muskegon Public Schools operates a school-choice program for elementary students, but the neighborhood is zoned for Oakview Elementary School, which earns a C-minus grade from Niche. Neighborhood students then go on to Charles Hackley Middle School, which has also yet to be graded because it was built in 2023 with its first school year starting in 2024. Muskegon High School is graded a C-plus. The high school competes in Division II sports and won the state football championship in 2023. Angell is also close to Muskegon Christian School, a private elementary school with a Spanish-immersion program.

Neighborhood association holds monthly community meetings
The Angell Neighborhood Association hosts a monthly meeting to provide the community with information on what’s going on in the neighborhood and to give residents an opportunity to ask any questions. Meetings are typically held at Angell Community Church once a month from February to November. The neighborhood also partners with the city’s 14 Dumpster Days, allowing residents to get rid of large trash for free instead of arranging for pickup.
Angell is home to four houses of worship, including Angel Community Church.
The Angell neighborhood has competitive home prices and lots to do nearby.

Public buses through Muskegon Area Transit System
Locals can get around by taking a Muskegon Area Transit System bus from Apple Avenue or Getty Street. U.S. 31 is 1 mile away, running north and south along the entire west side of Michigan. From U.S. 31, it’s an 8-mile drive south to Muskegon County Airport. The airport welcomed a new airline, Denver Air Connection, in November 2024, which offers 35-minute flights on a 50-seat jet to Chicago O’Hare International Airport, with connections beyond on major airlines. It’s a step up from its previous contract with Southern Airways Express, which could transport nine people in double the time aboard propeller-driven craft.
Stores and restaurants on Getty Street and Apple Avenue
There are a few places to shop and dine out on Getty Street to the east and Apple Avenue to the north. Getty Street Grill is a community staple for breakfast and lunch, serving its famous hashbrowns for more than 20 years. Locals can also get Mexican food at Kayla’s Tacos, or head about a mile south to Mr. Scrib’s Pizza on Laketon Avenue, which Puffer describes as the best pizza in Muskegon. Residents can stop by K.B.’s Market, a small local corner store, selling meat and other groceries. There’s also a Walgreens on the corner of Apple and Getty and an Aldi and Dollar Tree a mile down the road. And of course, with downtown Muskegon less than 2 miles away, residents have plenty of shopping and dining options nearby.
Getty Street Grill has been serving the Angell community for 20 years.
