Oshkosh is known as Wisconsin’s Event City. You’ll find plenty of quiet neighborhoods for families to settle down and enjoy the lakefront, including the Oakwood neighborhood in Algoma, Black Wolf (with its Far Vu Golf Course and Oshkosh Country Club), and Ferry Crossing.

In addition to Oshkosh, don’t overlook the cities of Appleton, Kaukauna, Neenah, and Menasha.

Located along the north shore of Lake Winnebago, Appleton has an attractive downtown community along with neighborhoods spreading east and northeast from the downtown core that include Alicia Park, Colony Oaks, Northland Downs, and Summit Park. Downtown Appleton is a thriving hub of shopping, dining, and family-friendly activities taking place throughout the year.

Home to about 16,000 people, Kaukauna’s proximity to the Fox River offers its residents access to many forms of recreation, including parks and a swimming pool. Kaukauna neighborhoods include Olde Country Circle and Winchester Park.

Neenah delivers the charm of small-town living with modern conveniences residents can access in one of the fastest growing urban cities in the Fox Cities metropolitan area. This community of 25,000 people features rich arts and culture, entertainment, recreation, and more. Representative neighborhoods include Allenville, Larsen, Rainbow Beach, and Sunrise Bay. 

Menasha’s diverse neighborhoods offer rich experiences of culture at every turn. On the city’s eastern side, you’ll find suburban living with easy access to major retail centers both north and west. Menasha’s downtown riverfront area is undergoing revitalization and is now home to art galleries, restaurants, and other attractions. Neighborhoods include Five Oaks, Racine-Lakeshore, and Water Street.
