A walkable community home to friendly neighbors

Huntley Houses provides residents with a walkable neighborhood for morning strolls to Huntley Elementary School and the array of activities directly north at Appleton Memorial Park. Though quiet, residents can find a sense of community in neighbors looking for more than just a wave from across the street. “People are very friendly here, and sometimes more friendly than some would like,” shares Debbie Seidel, Realtor with Coldwell Banker, who has 27 years of experience selling in the area. “Neighbors will stop on their walks and talk, even if they don’t know you yet.” Alongside are the bustling events held in downtown Appleton, 2 miles southwest, to keep locals busy throughout the year.

The homes of Huntley Houses

The neighborhood’s residential streets are wide enough for residents to take the pup on an afternoon walk. They are also home to ample crosswalks, children-at-play signs and streetlights, making it safe for little ones to bounce from one friend's house to the next. In front yards are trees with narrow but tall trunks and higher canopies, allowing for views of homes without sacrificing shade in the summer. These homes come in various architectural styles, primarily ranch-style homes, along with split-level and bi-level styles, built throughout the 20th century. Most sit atop plots averaging 0.25 acres and range in price from $107,000 to $380,000 for a home sitting on a 0.5-acre lot.

Ice skating and rock hunting at Appleton Memorial Park

Appleton Memorial Park is on the other side of East Northland Avenue, directly north, making trips to the expansive park convenient. The park sees plenty of action between skating at the indoor rink at Appleton Family Ice Center, the blooms of Scheig Center & Gardens, and catching weekend A-League games atop its diamonds. “It’s one of the favorites in the whole valley,” Seidel says. “my grandson likes to go rock hunting there, plus they’ve got ponds and host egg hunts at Easter.” Meanwhile, Building for Kids, located downtown on West College Avenue, offers an array of exhibits for little ones to learn while playing about, including a 10-foot human heart slide and Move IT, which focuses on physics and engineering.

Mile of Music and Art at the Park

Though small, Appleton hosts many events comparable to those of a larger city. “I think we like to party here, and summer is only so long to squeeze everything in,” Seidel says. Among many, she mentions Mile of Music, a 4-day August festival, as a staple of the area. The event welcomes 200 artists to crowds gathered at main stages and participating bars along the one-mile stretch. Meanwhile, City Park on East Franklin Street hosts the annual Art at the Park, a 3-day celebration of local and regional art from hundreds of vendors selling goods from jewelry to paintings and sculptures.
