Parkway is a riverside community right next to the mall

Curving alongside the west bank of the Milwaukee River, Parkway is a small subdivision in the Milwaukee suburb of Glendale. Aside from its namesake elementary school, the North Shore neighborhood is mostly residential. But Bayshore — Glendale’s open-air mall — is just over the river and past the highway. For those working locally, Parkway is also closer to the car dealerships and manufacturers on Green Bay Avenue. “Glendale has a lot of car dealerships, and it offsets the taxes a little bit, so they aren’t as high as the other communities,” says Glendale resident Florence Carneol, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Commercial Realty.

Cape Cods and ranch-style homes along the river in Parkway

Most houses in Parkway are Cape Cods and ranch-style homes. Wide, tree-lined streets lead to narrow driveways, where homeowners park in attached and detached garages. Some homes border the river, offering water views and private fishing spots. Home prices typically range from $200,000 to $420,000 — less expensive than nearby communities like Nicolet and River Edge. Because of Parkway’s location along the Milwaukee River, the water level can be an issue after big storms. Flooding is infrequent; however, in August 2025, abnormally heavy rain caused flooding and property damage across Milwaukee, including in Glendale.

Local restaurants and shopping at Bayshore mall

The Brick Pub and Grill is a popular American spot serving burgers and sandwiches. “It’s a sports bar, and they have a front and back patio. That’s where everybody congregates for sports games,” Carneol says. Bavarian Bierhaus is a brewery and restaurant, offering a mix of American and German menu items in a dining room designed to look like a traditional German beerhall. Of course, there’s German beer on the menu, too. About a miles away on the other side of I-43, Bayshore includes retailers like Nike, Old Navy and Barnes & Noble. “The mall has a bowling alley and a theater, but you have to go through the mall to get to them,” Carneol says. Target and Trader Joe’s are both at the mall, and Sendik’s Food Market is about a mile away.

The Milwaukee River, Oak Leaf Trail and local parks by Parkway

The Milwaukee River is a popular fishing spot, where fishermen catch salmon during the right season. The paved Oak Leaf Trail goes through the community, running 135 miles as it connects with the rest of Milwaukee. Richard E. Maslowski Glendale Community Park has an inclusive, accessible playground and a baseball diamond. “It has a stage there and live music in the summer,” Carneol says. It is also home to its own beer garden, Sprecher Brewing Outdoor Oasis. Lincoln Park, just south of the community, has a kayak launch along the river. In summer, the David F. Schulz Aquatic Center’s pool and lazy river are open.
