Finding community at CityDeck
CityDeck, which sits along Fox River, is the city’s community’s most frequented outdoor space. The intent of the riverfront development was to encourage residents to reengage with the waterfront and it is working. "It is the spot to be for lunch during the day,” shares Mirkes. “It’s great for an outdoorsy person to get out of the stuffy office for a moment.” The promenade is the place to be when it comes to community, whether signing up for weekly Yoga on The Deck meetups or taking the pup for a stroll while catching views of the river.
Locals love to gather at CityDeck in downtown Green Bay.

CityDeck is also the place to be for city-planned events like Fridays on The Fox. It’s common to find a crowd dancing in front of the live musicians who play while the sun sets over the Fox River. They also host Family Shows every other Monday, welcoming little ones to participate in revolving entertainment opportunities for the whole family, like magic shows and balloon art workshops. When summer rolls around, residents spend mornings picking up local produce and goods from the Saturday Farmers Market on South Washington and Doty Streets. “it’s been going on for 108 years,” shares Mirkes. “It’s something people look forward to every year here. We even have vendors where people can create their own flower bouquets to take home.” Sports fans can catch a Packers game at Lambeau Field, 3 miles away, or a concert at the historic Meyer Theater along South Washington Street.

The homes of Downtown
On the northern side of East Walnut Street sit most of Downtown’s condo buildings built in the last 20 years, typically featuring red brick cladding. These condos range in price from $200,000 to $320,000, slightly less than Green Bay Metro Area’s average. South of East Walnut Street are a handful of free-standing homes showcasing a variety of styles, from bungalows to Queen Anne styles, built in the early-to-mid 1900s, which sit between office buildings. These are typically used for investment duplex opportunities and fall within the same price range as the neighborhood’s condos. Residential sidewalks connect front doors to various dining and recreational opportunities near CityDeck. Though there is no specific ordinance, it’s not common to find a building taller than five stories high, as the city tends to build out and not up. However, city officials and planners aim to densify the neighborhood in the coming years with mixed-use development projects.
