About
Nicolet
Nicolet, located between N Port Washington Rd and N Green Bay Ave, is a residential and commercial Glendale neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and a retail corridor. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Bayshore Town Center district at N Port Washington Rd and Silver Spring Dr, where storefront patios, a cinema marquee, and sidewalk dining set the pace. Bayshore Town Center and iPic Theaters anchor the area’s day-to-night rhythm. Nearby, Kletzsch Park and the Milwaukee River trails add wooded breaks and long walking loops. Housing reads as tidy postwar blocks with pockets of newer townhomes near the shopping district. The feel is polished and practical, with errands, coffee stops, and green space stitched into the same grid.
