Set along the western shore of Lake Michigan just north of Milwaukee, Bayside has a more relaxed pace than many of its urban neighbors. Buyers are drawn to the area for its active community and established homes. Families are especially attracted to the combination of top-rated schools and nearby parks.
While some homes in the area are newer, most are established midcentury properties. Colonial, split-level and ranch-style homes are common throughout Bayside, with many featuring brick or Lannon stone exteriors. Prices generally range from about $300,000 to the low $600,000s, though larger, more stately homes can climb to $1.4 million. The median home price in Bayside hovers in the low $600,000s, often making it less expensive than nearby communities like Mequon, Fox Point and River Hills.
Most students in Bayside are assigned to the Fox Point-Bayside School District, which covers pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. From there, many continue on to Nicolet High School. Private options include the University School of Milwaukee, serving pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, with an A-plus Niche rating.
The roughly 185-acre Schlitz Audubon Nature Center features about 6 miles of trails leading to the Lake Michigan shoreline. A 60-foot observation tower offers panoramic views of the surrounding canopy, and the center is recognized as an important birding area for spotting migratory species. Doctor's Park in neighboring Fox Point has wooded trails that descend steep bluffs and ravines to a secluded beach.
Despite its small size, Bayside throws a number of celebrations every year, creating a sense of neighborliness. “There’s more to Bayside than the sleepy town people perceive it as,” says local Realtor Kyle Davis of Compass Real Estate. “We have an impactful, family-centric community that everyone wants to be a part of.”
Events such as recycling days and leaf collection days focus on neighborhood beautification, while the annual Fall Fest and Fourth of July Parade bring the community together with activities for all ages.
Interstate 43 runs through Bayside, providing a major north-south route that leads to downtown Milwaukee in about 10 miles. Brown Deer Road and North Lake Drive, part of state Highway 32, are other significant local roads.
While Bayside is primarily residential, locals don't have to go far for a good meal. A mix of neighborhood staples and nearby restaurants gives people plenty to choose from:
