Molding a modern foundry town
From the modest suburban homes, the busy commercial corridor and the top-tier private education, Campbell Field is all about molding things together. The neighborhood began taking shape in the early 1900s when Donald J. Campbell and two business partners started CWC Foundry, creating one of many foundries still operating in Muskegon. It became a prominent employer for thousands who melted and molded metal into casts to make automotive parts. After work, many would come home to the same houses that make up Campbell Field's current subdivisions. "As a kid, it was a nice place to live," says Tim Updyke, a Realtor with Five Star Real Estate, who grew up in Campbell Field. "I'd play street hockey with my friends, and we'd come in when the street lights came on. It's pretty much still the same." While kids enjoy playing outside, Updyke says homebuyers are drawn to the housing prices, where the median is $151,000, compared to the citywide median of $190,000.
Campbell Field is located near Muskegon Lake and Lake Michigan.
Local industry in Campbell Field includes CWC Textron, which makes vehicle camshafts.

Modest bungalows and brand-new homes
Campbell Field's straight residential streets are predominantly lined with bungalows and ranch-style homes from the early 1900s to 1940s. They're built on approximately 0.15-acre lots with fenced backyards. Bungalows typically have open or enclosed front porches, while ranch styles have an attached garage in the front or a detached garage in the back. Both styles of homes can be anywhere from 600 to 2,000 square feet, with prices ranging from $100,000 to $220,000. The neighborhood has a few empty lots, starting to fill with new Craftsman-style houses. With bright vinyl siding and white trim, these three-bedroom homes were built for immediate occupancy and feature modern interiors and attached garages. They're similarly priced at under $280,000. There are also a few low-rise apartment complexes with their own leafy green spaces.
Several new homes have been built recently in Campbell Field.

Plans for restorations at neighborhood's namesake park
The neighborhood's namesake park, Campbell Field, is slated to receive restorations. The 9.5-acre park has a softball field, playground equipment and a large field. In 2024, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee approved a plan to make improvements based on feedback from the community. Residents voted to remove the softball field and replace it with a meadow of native Michigan plants. They also want updated playground equipment, a picnic shelter and walking paths with fitness stations. There is no set date for when the park will be renovated.

Home to Michigan's top K-12 private school
Students may attend Muskegon Catholic Central, which is located in the neighborhood. It earns an A-minus grade from Niche and is ranked the best K-through-12 private school in the Grand Rapids region. As of 2024, tuition is $5,510 to $9,950 a year, depending on the grade level. Those who are members of a parish within the Diocese of Grand Rapids receive $1,600 in tuition assistance. Muskegon Public Schools has a school choice program for elementary students, based on capacity and sometimes relies on a lottery system when demand exceeds capacity at a particular school. Parents and caretakers may choose to send their children to Glenside Elementary, the nearest to the neighborhood. The school doesn't have a Niche grade, but it stands out with its Two-Way Language Immersion Program, where students learn in both English and Spanish. Charles Hackley Middle School has also yet to be graded because it was built in 2023 with its first school year starting in 2024. Muskegon High School gets a C grade and is notable for its football program, which won the Division II state championship in 2023.
