A quiet suburb just minutes from downtown and the bay

Olde North is a Green Bay suburb just 1.5 miles northwest of downtown. Located to the north, it sits closer to the bay than other neighborhoods around downtown, offering easier access to amenities and attractions along the water. Its proximity to downtown means residents are never far from the city’s annual events and traditions, as well as its foodie scene. Despite being close to everything Green Bay offers, Olde North itself is quiet, with residential streets lined with trees, where residents can come home and relax after a day out around Green Bay.

Neighborhood parks and Elvis' favorite roller coaster at Beach Bay Amusement Park

Olde North has three neighborhood parks nestled amongst the homes, all within walking distance of houses for easy access: Farlin Park, Eastman Park and Bayview Park. These parks offer playgrounds and basketball courts, though Bayview also has a baseball diamond, and Farlin has an open field perfect for soccer or picnics. Olde North Community Garden encourages people to rent plots and exercise their green thumbs with vegetable and flower gardens. Because Olde North is on the northern side of central Green Bay, residents are also closer to Bay Beach Amusement Park. Sitting along Lake Michigan, Bay Beach is owned by the city, so entry is always free. Instead, residents must pay for the individual rides, which usually only cost $1 each. Zippin Pippin is an old-fashioned wooden rollercoaster originally from Memphis and rumored to be Elvis Presley’s favorite.
