The East-side Neighborhood of Oshkosh
.jpg)
Where to go, live and enjoy the East-Side of Oshkosh. Why the East-Side Neighborhoods Architecturally significant homes from the 1860s through the 1940s are found throughout the East-Side neighborhood. The neighborhood lies within a dozen blocks of downtown Oshkosh. It's a wonderfully diverse neighborhood, that changes from block to block, and is filled with character and inspirational designs. The tree-lined streets of Oshkosh today rose from the boom of the lumber milling industry which saw the growth of Oshkosh's population explode to 25,000 by 1880. The first settlements of the East-side reflected the post-Civil war boom but also the prosperity of the community as many residents desired to build a second home in an area becoming a fashionable middle income neighborhood. A visitor to the East-Side Neighborhood is left with the impression of a fine neighborhood which has been and continues to be well maintained by its residents. When walking through the neighborhood you have a sense belonging to the area. There is the impression that homeowners in the neighborhood take a special pride in their homes. The Neighborhood is also characterized by many rehabilitations and restorations of the older homes.
Like beer and fun? Then Oblio’s is the place to be in downtown. With more beers on tap than a German Beer Garten, 3 rooms to spread out, plus a great patio to take advantage of the warm weather.
