Suamico, WI: Waterfront Space, Room to Roam, Still Close to Green Bay
Suamico sits right on Green Bay’s shoreline, about 10 miles north of downtown — more room, more water access, and a different pace than the neighborhoods closer into the city. We work this market regularly, and here’s what we tell buyers and sellers who ask us about it.
Why Buyers Are Choosing Suamico
- More land, more water, than almost anywhere else its size: Suamico is the largest village in the United States by combined land and water area – about 38.8% of the village is water — because its borders stretch out into Green Bay itself.
- Real, steady growth: from 11,346 residents at the 2010 Census to 12,820 in 2020, with estimates putting the village at roughly 13,000+ residents today.
- Higher household incomes than neighboring communities: 2010 Census median household income was $84,295, and more recent estimates put average household income well above that – a market that skews toward established buyers and move-up homes rather than starter inventory.
- Quick highway access: US-41 runs through the village, putting downtown Green Bay and Lambeau Field roughly 10 miles – about a 15-minute drive – away.
Suamico Real Estate Market
As of May 2026, Redfin put the median sale price in Suamico at $503,199, up 5.4% year-over-year, or about $201 per square foot. That’s notably higher than the Wisconsin statewide median of roughly $351,000 over the same period – Suamico is priced more like a premium, waterfront-adjacent market than a typical Green Bay suburb.
Schools
Most of Suamico is served by the Howard-Suamico School District, which feeds into Bay Port High School. A small number of exclave areas within the village are zoned instead to the Pulaski Community School District – an easy detail to miss on a general “Suamico schools” search, so we always confirm the exact zoned school for a specific address rather than assuming based on the village boundary.
Waterfront, Parks & Things to Do
- Green Bay shoreline access: with roughly 23 square miles of the village’s total area classified as water, Suamico is a genuine option for buyers who want bay access for fishing and boating without leaving the Green Bay metro.
- NEW Zoo & Adventure Park: a 43-acre zoo with 200+ animals, plus zip lines, an aerial ropes course, and a treetop canopy tour – a genuine destination attraction, not just a small-town amenity.
- Barkhausen Waterfowl Preserve: a free nature preserve near the zoo, popular for birdwatching and walking trails.
- Brown County Reforestation Camp: nearly 1,600 acres surrounding the NEW Zoo, with trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, and ponds.
- The Suamico River: a popular spot for paddling, flowing east into Green Bay.
Getting Around
