Little Suamico is a rural haven outside of Green Bay
There isn’t much to Little Suamico, and that’s the way its residents like it. The community's two main thoroughfares are dotted with local businesses -- no big box stores in sight -- and homes sit on large spreads. “It’s a sort of haven for folks who want to be outside of the big city, and by ‘big city’ I mean Green Bay,” says Alex Roup. Roup, a broker with Todd Wiese Homeselling System, says residents are drawn to Little Suamico because the houses are bigger and more affordable than those in Green Bay and its similarly named sister community to the south, Suamico. “There are nice neighborhoods and there is no urban sprawl.”
Ranch-style and New Traditional homes on large lots
The most common homes here are 1980s and 1990s ranch-style, and 2000s-era New Traditional. They feature three or four bedrooms and sit on lots that often exceed half an acre. Residential streets are a mix of rural and suburban. Some homes sit on lots big enough for barns. “You still get that neighborhood feel, but you’re not on top of each other,” Roup says. Prices typically range from $165,000 to around $500,000, with higher-priced homes boasting more square footage, multi-acre lots or both. Homes near Sobieski can be priced as high as $800,000 and typically sit on multiple acres.
Kids attend B-plus and B-minus rated schools
The schools zoned to Little Suamico are Sunnyside Elementary, which has a B-minus rating on Niche, Pulaski Community Middle and Pulaski High, both of which score B-plusses. Pulaski High offers clubs and organizations, including the Euro-Travel Club and Skills USA, which prepares students for careers in trade and technical fields.
Green spaces and wildlife area feature ball fields and hiking
Most residents head into nearby Suamico for its zoo and several large parks. However, within the town is the Green Bay Shores State Wildlife Area, which allows hiking, wildlife viewing, hunting and trapping, and Little Suamico Recreation Park, a green space with ball fields and a playground.
Residents dine at local restaurants, find essentials in Suamico
U.S. Highway 41 is one of the main thoroughfares. Luigi’s Pizza Palace is not only a favorite for its many pizza options, but also for its fish fry. A few bars are located along Country Road S, including Kroll’s, a long-time neighborhood staple loved for its friendly staff and laid-back feel. Residents head to Suamico for groceries and more dining out options. The closest hospitals are in Green Bay and Oconto Falls, which are less than 20 miles away.
Little Suamico Days is a popular summer event
Residents gather each August for Little Suamico Days, a two-day event featuring live music, food, family-friendly activities and fireworks.
Highway 41 connects residents to I-41 and Green Bay
There is no public transportation within the town, so residents tend to travel by car. Highway 41 leads to Green Bay and connects to Interstate 41 and other major roadways.
