One of Green Bay's historic districts a mile from downtown
In Astor, residents live surrounded by history while only minutes away from modern amenities. This neighborhood is a historic district designated on the National Register of Historic Places, and residents taking strolls through the area can stop to read plaques. Historic homes even have plaques that homeowners can purchase to showcase the year their home was built. Sitting at the heart of the neighborhood, the Union Congregational Church of Green Bay was founded in 1835 and is considered one of the oldest churches in Wisconsin, still hosting services today. Even though homes and buildings may be historic, residents have access to parks and the hospital just a couple of blocks from their homes and downtown is just a mile away for excellent shopping and dining.
Residents in Astor enjoy the quiet, shaded sidewalks throughout the neighborhood.

Historic Queen Annes and Dutch Colonials marked with plaques
Astor’s streets are lined with mature trees planted along the sidewalks, with flower gardens adorning front yards and porches that are a staple of the neighborhood's homes. Styles include an eclectic mix of Queen Annes, Dutch Colonials and Tudor Revivals sitting beside American Foursquare duplexes and Craftsman Bungalows. “People here tend to interact with each other more because of the way the lots are,” says Alex Young, a Green Bay native and Realtor with Keller Williams Commercial. “The homes are closer to the sidewalks than some of the newer developments. Properties are a little bit more narrow but a little bit longer, so you’re closer to your neighbors.” Most homes in Astor sell between $200,000 and $375,000, but sometimes a larger historic home will sell between $650,000 and $725,000.

Downtown Green Bay's two summer farmers markets
In the summer at St. James Park, residents gather for the Summer Music in the Park concert series every Wednesday evening. While the bandshell has benches built in, people also bring their own lawn chairs and get comfortable. Just a bit to the north, people can attend two local farmers markets on each side of the Fox River. “The one that’s on the east side of the river on Sunday mornings—that’s going to be more of your local producers and vendors,” Young says, referring to the one in downtown Green Bay. “That’s where you go if you want to buy things locally.” On the west side of the Fox, the Farmers’ Market on Broadway occurs every Wednesday evening in the summer, and features live music and food trucks, with Young highlighting how people will come just to meet up with friends at this one. During football season residents also go all out for Green Bay Packers games at Lambeau Field.
