Living in Green Bay -the reality
Random thought, I'm retired and Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. You can expect to pay around $904 for rent here. Poverty rate is 11.9%, which is around average. Rent is about $904/month for a decent place. Median household income is $62,546, which feels about average for the area. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Low crime in most areas
- Easy commute
- Walkable downtown
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Limited dining options
- Not enough green space
