New homes and new construction are bringing new potential to Lawrence
The town of Lawrence is a community in transition. While the town has plenty of amenities and housing, it is growing and benefiting from larger Green Bay projects. In particular, the South Bridge Connector project in De Pere will bring extra accessibility to the area. The second bridge, slated for completion in 2030, aims to ease congestion over the Fox River, leading to a better connection between Green Bay and its suburbs, including Lawrence. Despite its growing presence, the town doesn’t have its own personality just yet. “The town of Lawrence is considered the growing subdivision of West De Pere,” says Green Bay native Alex Young, a Realtor with Keller Williams Commercial. “They have the space to expand when other municipalities really don’t.”

New Traditionals and ranch-style homes built in the late 90s
The town’s growth is bringing newer homes to the Green Bay area, where turn-of-the-century properties are typically more common. While some new builds are becoming more and more available, most of Lawrence’s New Traditionals and ranch-style homes date back to the late '90s, where young trees lining the curb highlight the age of the community. Without bigger trees hanging over yards and the streets, neighborhoods have a more open feel, highlighting lawnmower tracks crisscrossing the grass and small gardens in front of homes. Some condos in communities like Shadow Ridge and Autumn Field are also available. Single-family homes and condos typically sell between $330,000 and $730,000, with condos also including monthly homeowners association fees between $170 and $330.

Lawrence neighborhood parks, golf course and soccer leagues
Quarry Park includes a soccer field, baseball diamond and playground. Lost Dauphin Park has a more rural feel, with just a playground and trails snaking through the woods. Mid Vallee Golf Course features a 27-hole course that’s open to the public, though visitors can choose which nines they want to play. The facility also has golf simulators for Green Bay’s long winters. At the Sports Emporium, locals can sign up for soccer classes and leagues, which include those for kids and adults. The southern portion of the community hugs the banks of the Fox River, where anglers can stop and cast a reel.

Current construction on I-41 and a new bridge to help Lawrence traffic
Interstate 41, a vital thoroughfare for the area, runs the length of Lawrence, connecting its residents to downtown Green Bay, about 13 miles north. The highway also separates the town from De Pere. “Interstate 41 is currently in the process of being expanded, and over there is also where the second bridge, or southern bridge, is going,” Young says. “It’s a very large project that they’ve been working on for a long time.” Ground broke in May 2025, and both De Pere and Lawrence residents will get to see the progress unfold as construction builds and later as some of the first communities to benefit from less traffic and better accessibility. Downtown De Pere is about 7 miles away. For health care, Prevea West De Pere Health Center is located down the street from homes in Lawrence. For Packers games in the fall, Lambeau Field is about 11 miles up the river. Those looking to escape the football season activity can catch flights at Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport, about 10 miles away.
