Residential living around a park in Perkins Park Area
On the edges of Green Bay’s northwestern side, Perkins Park Area is a small collection of residential streets surrounding a community park—Perkins Park. This side of Green Bay is saturated with green space, with neighborhood parks just a few blocks down the street and a paved walking path cutting through the community. With so many parks and recreational space surrounding this community, residents take on an active lifestyle. “You’ll see people out walking or riding bikes and out in their yards,” says Realtor Jerrilynn Vandenberg with Fireside Realty. “And walking to the park, of course.” Even with plenty of parks to choose from, residents won’t feel like they are living in the wilderness—Military Avenue is lined with restaurants, shops and grocery stores for increased accessibility.
