Affordable prices, popular parks and good schools in Glen Hills
Glen Hills is located in the city of Glendale, just north of Milwaukee. While many of Glendale’s neighborhoods share a similar suburban character, Glen Hills sets itself apart with relatively affordable home prices compared to some surrounding areas. “It’s probably a little more midcentury modern homes,” says Pete Gohsman, Realtor with the Gohsman Group of Keller Williams Milwaukee North Shore, who lives in Glendale. “It’s a nice neighborhood. It’s maybe a little lower price point than the Bender neighborhood nearby.” Once enticed by price, residents enjoy the nearby popular parks and highly rated schools.
Midcentury ranch-style or Colonial Revival houses are most common
Condos and multi-family developments sit off Green Bay Avenue, and apartment buildings are on the neighborhood's opposite side. But past the roads that form the outline of the area, Glen Hills takes on a traditional suburban feel. Midcentury homes, often ranch-style or Colonial Revival, have moderately sized lots with landscaped yards. Some properties back to small lakes, with backyard water views. Duplexes and condos sell between $130,000 and $190,000, while the single-family homes go from $330,000 to $460,000.
Highly rated public and private options in and around Glendale
The Glendale-River Hills School District serves Glen Hills for elementary and middle school. Students start at Parkway Elementary for kindergarten through third grade, which receives a B-plus grade from Niche. Glen Hills Middle, within the neighborhood, gets a B for fourth through eighth grades. The neighborhood is then zoned to the Nicolet Union High School District. Its namesake high school is rated an A by Niche, which ranks it the sixth-best public high school in the state. Private options include Eastbrook Academy or Dominican High, each receiving an A.
Nearby recreation options include Kletzsch Park and the Oak Leaf Trail
Kletzsch Park lies directly across Green Bay Avenue from Glen Hills. The park has sports facilities like baseball fields and an archery range, plus a playground. Trails run alongside the Milwaukee River, which borders the park. Gohsman points out the river's falls at Kletzsch Park as an excellent spot for fly fishing. A portion of the 135-mile Oak Leaf Trail, the Zip Line, runs along the neighborhood's west side and connects Glen Hills to Richard E. Maslowski Glendale Community Park a mile away. Glendale Community Park has baseball fields and a large, accessible playground.
Local restaurants on Green Bay Avenue and retailers at Bayshore
Several restaurants are located on Green Bay Avenue around Glen Hills. The Brick Pub and Grill is a neighborhood staple, with daily specials and leagues for darts and cornhole. Bistro on the Glen, a popular lunch spot, serves soup and sandwiches. The closest grocery store is Save A Lot in the Silver Mill shopping center, less than a mile away. However, residents do more of their shopping at Bayshore, an outdoor mall and town center 2 miles from Glen Hills. Retail options include Target and H&M, plus several casual chain restaurants.
Glendale community events at nearby parks
Glendale’s biggest community event is its annual Fourth of July Celebration at Kletzsch Park. The party includes food trucks, a parade and a fireworks display, plus a “summer soak” from a fire engine, keeping kids cool. The city also hosts concerts over the summer at Glendale Community Park, featuring local acts at the amphitheater. Bayshore is home to outdoor markets throughout the summer, with nights themed to local artists.
Freeway and bus access for commuters, though some work in Glendale
While the main roads around Glen Hills have sidewalks, residents generally drive to their destinations. Interstate 43 is roughly 2 miles from the neighborhood, leading south through Glendale to downtown Milwaukee, 8 miles away. Commuters can also take public transportation, as the Milwaukee County Transit System operates bus lines throughout Glendale, including a stop on Green Bay Avenue adjacent to the neighborhood. However, many residents work in Glendale at one of the several employers in the city. “The freeway splits the city of Glendale, so it’s obviously super easy to get anywhere you need to go,” Gohsman says. “I’d say a lot of people probably commute downtown, but there are plenty of other local businesses that people work at.”
Glendale's flood risk mainly around Milwaukee River
Parts of Glendale can experience minor-to-moderate flooding, though Glen Hills is less susceptible due to its location farther from the Milwaukee River and Lincoln Creek. In August 2025, record rainfall caused property damage and closed roadways within the city.
