Ours is a vibrant community of all ages and ethnicities with the luxury of having everything downtown Muskegon has to offer right at our fingertips!

We take pride in the history of the area and strive to actively participate in beautifying and improving our neighborhood and its surroundings.

We come together to ensure Nelson is an inclusive, safe, welcoming, family-friendly, wonderful place to build relationships, get involved, and have a home.

Nelson is the place to live. Nelson is the place to be.
