A former fishing village thriving next to Green Bay
Located 12 miles north of Green Bay, the village of Suamico is a bedroom community of 12,820 people that offers a quiet suburban lifestyle and easy access to the metropolitan area. Spanning over 59 square miles of land and water, Suamico is the largest incorporated village by area in the nation. It has outdoor amenities that match, including a local zoo, adventure park and beach parks with boat launches into the bay. “Suamico used to be known as the Fishing Village back in the turn of the century,” says Sky Van Rossum, the village president and a resident of 25 years. “If you looked at Green Bay right now, you’d see all of the ice shanties. There’s got to be three, four hundred fishermen.”
Suamico is bordered by Lake Michigan on its eastern edge.
The NEW Zoo & Adventure Park features animal exhibits, a canopy walk, and zipline tours.

Chives is an elevated American restaurant that’s a local favorite of former NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, while Rustique Pizzeria + Lounge operates out of a former chapel over 120 years old. “It’s a lot of older historical buildings,” Sky says. “Station 1 Brewing actually makes their own beer in the old fire station down there.” Local grocery stores include Aldi, Festival Foods and Piggly Wiggly.

An easy drive to Packertown
The village does not offer public transportation, so residents must rely on their vehicles or rideshare services. The Prevea Health Center handles daytime urgent care, but 24-hour emergency care is a short drive down U.S. Route 41 into Green Bay, which also has major industries in manufacturing and meatpacking. The closest commercial air travel is at the Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport, roughly 14 miles away.
Weather & Crime
Suamico receives about 50 inches of snow every year, and the village keeps the roads clear through seven snow-plowing routes.
