Riverside charm with urban conveniences
The Lumber River neighborhood, home to River Mill Condominiums, offers a blend of natural beauty and urban amenities. The area's history as a lumber industry hub is evident in the converted factory buildings and the scenic Wiouwash Trail, which runs along the former railroad tracks.
Just steps from the condominium, residents can enjoy the Fox River Brewing Company, a popular local establishment offering craft beers and riverside dining. The brewery's patio provides a perfect spot to unwind while taking in views of the Oshkosh Avenue Bridge and the river.
For those who enjoy outdoor activities, Rainbow Park is within walking distance. This park features a boat launch, casting docks, a playground, and a seasonal ice rink, catering to various recreational interests throughout the year.
Culinary options in the area range from casual to eclectic. The Northside Bar & Grill, about a 15-minute walk away, is known for its cornhole tournaments and popular Friday Fish Fry. For breakfast enthusiasts, Delta Restaurant, approximately a mile away, offers hearty morning meals in a cozy setting.
Shopping needs are well-served by nearby options. The Pick 'n Save grocery store is about a 30-minute walk or a short drive away, providing convenient access to everyday essentials.

Balanced transit options for urban and waterway access
River Mill Condominiums offers residents a mix of transportation options, balancing the need for personal vehicles with access to public transit and recreational waterways. The area's moderate bike score reflects the presence of some bike-friendly infrastructure, making cycling a viable option for local trips and recreation.
Public transportation is available, though not extensive. The nearest bus stop, Congress Ave. & Summit Ave., is a short five-minute walk from the condominium. This stop serves the FVTC/UWO/Library and UWO/Westowne lines, providing connections to key areas of the city. Another nearby stop at High Ave. & New York Ave., also about a five-minute walk, serves the UWO/Westowne line.
For those who rely on personal vehicles, the condominium's location provides relatively easy access to major roads. Interstate 41 is within reach, facilitating commutes to nearby cities like Appleton (about 20 miles away) or longer trips to Green Bay (approximately 50 miles).
The proximity to the Fox River adds a unique transportation dimension. The condominium's marina and available boat slips allow residents to use the waterway for both recreation and as an alternative means of accessing nearby attractions along the river.
For air travel, residents typically use Appleton International Airport, located about a 30-minute drive from the condominium. While Wittman Regional Airport is closer (about 3 miles south), it primarily serves private and charter flights.
The area's moderate walk score suggests that some errands can be accomplished on foot, particularly with the nearby Fairacres Shopping Center and other local businesses within walking distance. However, a car may be necessary for more extensive shopping trips or commutes to areas not well-served by public transit.
The Wiouwash Trail, accessible from the condominium, provides an excellent option for recreational walking or cycling, connecting residents to a broader network of paths and green spaces in the area.
Overall, while personal vehicles offer the most flexibility for getting around, the combination of some public transit options, bike-friendly routes, and unique water access provides residents with varied transportation choices to suit different needs and preferences.
