Western Corridor provides a convenient location, for a relative value

Located within 3 miles of downtown Green Bay and Lambeau Field, Western Corridor offers residents a location near the heart of Wisconsin’s third-largest city. Still, this neighborhood’s established homes come with lower price tags in relation to the wider area. “It’s definitely part of the area that I would consider maybe top three or four for affordability,” says Monte Reyment, who’s the broker and owner at Take Action Realty and has about five years of industry experience. Western Corridor is also surrounded by parks and is down the road from both a hospital and Interstate 41.

Age gives Western Corridor classic character

This deeply rooted section of Green Bay has homes dating to the early 1900s and others built through the 1970s. The streets here are lined with mature landscaping, including tall oak and pine trees, shading the neighborhood’s bungalows and ranch-style houses. “Smaller homes, but definitely something you can get into,” Reyment says. Most properties sell for $130,000 to $380,000. The median in Western Corridor is $390,000, compared to the median of roughly $550,000 around Green Bay.

Downtown is close, but not the only destination

Green Bay’s quaint downtown is right across the Fox River from the Western Corridor, but residents don’t have to head downtown for amenities if they don’t want to. The city’s Broadway District is even closer, home to a stretch of restaurants and event venues just off the banks of the river. That includes The Tarlton Theatre, which was built in 1924 and hosts programs including a Saturday-morning cartoon brunch series and Green Bay Jazz Orchestra performances. The Military Avenue thoroughfare is closer still and gives residents quick access to businesses like ALDI, Petco and Michael. Also The Pancake Place, a well-known diner open for over 40 years. “Celebrities have been there,” Reyment says. “I know Justin Timberlake has been, because he’s a Packer fan.” The Packers, one of the NFL’s oldest franchises, play in the 81,441-seat Lambeau Field, 2 miles south of Western Corridor.

Neighborhood events emphasize collaboration

The Western Corridor Neighborhood Association supports multiple events in the area each year, many of them focused on improving the community. There are periodic game nights and semi-annual trail clean-ups along the Sgt. Benjamin Edinger Corridor, which runs through the neighborhood. Volunteers help their neighbors with home projects during Good Neighbor Week in September. A farmers market along Military Avenue, dubbed the Market on Military, is held on Thursdays from June to October.

Green Bay schools have involved parent groups, specialized activities

The Green Bay Area Public Schools District earns a B grade on Niche. Students in Western Corridor may attend the B-rated Chappell Elementary or the C-plus-rated Lincoln Elementary, depending on where they live. Both elementaries are backed by active PTOs. Franklin Middle carries a B grade and offers a variety of extracurriculars, from a fitness club to a STEAM club. West High gets a C-plus and has dual-enrollment nursing and manufacturing programs. Western Corridor is home to the private Notre Dame Academy, too. Notre Dame is an A-minus-rated high school with an accomplished athletic department — the school has 45 state championships.

Multiple parks give residents proximity to green space

Several city parks are in the vicinity of Western Corridor, meaning residents around the neighborhood are within a short walk, bike ride or drive from one. Fisk Park features a football field, a playground and the Resch Aquatic Center with multiple water attractions, including a couple of slides. Frank B. Seymour Park also has a playground and a splash pad. Enos Colburn Park has a few athletic fields, nature trails and another public pool. The Sgt. Benjamin Edinger Corridor gives people in the neighborhood access to an almost 2-mile, paved path for bike rides or jogs. The West Boys & Girls Club of Green Bay in Western Corridor provides children with a place for indoor programming.

Locals can wheel around the city with Green Bay Metro

The area’s Green Bay Metro bus system has over a dozen routes. Western Corridor residents are close to several bus stops along West Mason Street and Shawano Avenue. Those two thoroughfares are also connections to downtown Green Bay, about 2 miles east. The HSHS St. Mary's Hospital Medical Center on Shawano has 158 beds and an emergency department. Residents can hop on I-41 for trips to the Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport, 8 miles away. Also, though Lambeau Field is minutes away, residents aren’t inundated with traffic on game days. “The traffic usually goes west and south from Lambeau,” Reyment says. “So that area is still a little bit busy, but it’s not too bad.”
