Good schools in high-end Hobart
Of all the Green Bay villages, Hobart aims for a more private, exclusive feel. “They’ve been trying to set themselves apart for many years as the higher-end municipality,” says Green Bay native Alex Young, Realtor with Keller Williams Commercial. The area developed as a farming community on the outskirts of town, and there are still plenty of rolling fields, but the village has found new ways to activate its open spaces, particularly with golf courses and country clubs. Technically, the village sits within the Oneida Reservation, which extends further eastward, but most locals don't distinguish Hobart from Green Bay proper. “They don’t have as many shops and restaurants, and they’re trying to change that,” Young says. The city airport is also in the area, not far from several popular parks and highly rated public schools.
More expansive and expensive homes compared to Green Bay
Homes in Hobart range from Cape Cods and condos to New Traditionals. “Old Hobart has properties from the 1970s, where there’s a lot of woods and properties have an acre and a half,” Young says. “But you’re also going to have a lot of golf communities, where most are between a quarter and a half acre.” The newer communities have younger trees to match, with many trees dotting the sidewalks and small front yards. Homes typically sell for $400,000 to $950,000, which is more expensive than the surrounding villages and most nearby neighborhoods. However, Young says homes in Hobart are often larger than those in other areas of Green Bay.
Hobart's golf courses and Oneida cultural spaces
Thornberry Creek at Oneida, a 27-hole golf course open to the public, shows off Packers pride with the team’s logo painted on the green. Brown County Golf Course is an 18-hole course also open to the public. Four Seasons Park spans 40 acres and includes soccer and lacrosse fields, a playground and a walking path. The village also plans to add pickleball courts in 2025. The Oneida Tribe Civic Center serves as a community center and after-school activity hub. Just outside the village, the Oneida Nation Museum showcases Native American art and culture. Walking trails and gardens surround the museum, which is filled with statues and art, including an exhibit that highlights lacrosse as a traditional Oneida sport.
Hobart students served by two A-rated school districts
Unlike many nearby villages, Hobart has two school districts. Those living north of Wisconsin Route 54 mostly attend Pulaski Community School District, which receives an A-minus from Niche. Pulaski High School is in this district and offers an Oneida language class. Those on the south side of WI-54 head to A-rated School District of West De Pere. West De Pere High School offers ski and ice fishing clubs in the winter.
Getting to the rest of Green Bay from Hobart
Hobart is on the outskirts of Green Bay, and downtown is about 10 miles away. Residents can take WI-54 and Wisconsin Route 172 to head into town. Legendary Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers, is just under 7 miles away, and a few casinos are in the area. HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital is also about 7 miles away. Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport is located within the village, so residents may hear jet noise from time to time. Hobart can get significant snow in winter, but the village salts the roads and deploys plows during snowstorms to mitigate the impact on commuters.
Hobart's growing dining scene includes a sports pub
D2 Sports Pub is one of the newer restaurants in the village, offering standard pub fare and trivia on Tuesdays. Narrow Bridge Plate and Pour serves burgers, sandwiches and pizza, plus cheese curds, a Green Bay staple. The restaurant also hosts live music on weekends. Hobart doesn’t have any grocery stores of its own, but Walmart, Sam’s Club and Festival Foods are all about 6 miles away on WI-54.
