Garden is a suburban community 2 miles west of Downtown Sheboygan and the western shores of Lake Michigan. Nestled between public parks and churches, the neighborhood offers quiet residential living and a peaceful atmosphere for families with children. “It’s a very nice neighborhood,” says Tori Torris, who has 6 years of experience as a real estate professional at Re/Max Universal Realty. “There are hospitals and parks close by, and North High School is a really good school.” Public transit, downtown and the popular restaurant row, North 8th Street, are fairly close by, offering convenient commute and entertainment opportunities.
Single-family homes near Downtown Sheboygan
Ranch-styles and occasional two-story Colonial Revivals from the 1930s to the 1960s dot the suburban, tree-lined neighborhood streets, and homes here generally list between $200,000 and $300,000. The average single-family home size is around 1,000 square feet, and neighbors usually have well-tended gardens and yards. Most vacant land sells from about $20,000 to $35,000, with larger lots listing around $130,000. “Many investors are also looking into the area for investment,” Torres says. “It’s a stable market, people are moving here and have stable jobs; homes maintain their value, and rentals make good returns.”
Sheboygan Area School District serves the community
Cooper Elementary School has a C-minus grade from Niche. Urban Middle School receives a B-minus rating and offers technology education to interested students. Available courses include Introduction to STEM, 3D design and modeling, and robotics.

In addition, the school offers business and technical education curricula.

Offering classic diner food, Superior Bar and Grill is in the neighborhood. The grocery store, Meijer, is south of the community, and Kohl’s is in the same plaza. Residents can also head 2 miles east and explore a range of restaurants that dot North 8th Street. “It’s a very popular street with lots of dining,” Torres says. Staple establishments include the Italian place Il Ritrovo, Umi Sushi and Steak House and Paradigm Coffee and Music, a vegan eatery that occasionally has live music events.

The community has several neighborhood parks, including Grace Park and Cleveland Park. Both places have play structures, sports facilities and open green fields.

The park hosts Food Truck Mondays in the summertime, and its hills are turned into sledding grounds come winter.
