River Edge has a quiet atmosphere between two golf courses
River Edge sits right between two golf courses — one public, one private. The two green spaces also create a sense of quiet to go along with an isolated feel for the neighborhood, separating it from other Glendale communities. Still, Green Bay Avenue runs down the center of the community, linking the neighborhood with the rest of the North Shore suburb and its restaurants, schools and other community spaces.

Local golf courses and activities at Brown Beer Park
Brown Deer Park includes the public Brown Deer Park Golf Course, where Tiger Woods made his professional debut in 1996 at the Greater Milwaukee Open. The rest of the park features a pond, disc golf course and a playground. “In the winter, people go cross-country skiing in Brown Deer Park,” says Glendale resident and Realtor Florence Carneol with Coldwell Banker Commercial Realty. Additionally, there are soccer fields, baseball diamonds and sand volleyball courts. The grounds also has an entry point to the Oak Leaf Trail, a 135-mile paved multi-use path.
The private Milwaukee Country Club is the other golfing option in the area. Memberships allow for usage of the golf course, tennis courts and swimming pool.
A mix of condos and single-family homes in River Edge
Most other Glendale neighborhoods have single-family homes, but River Edge has condos available in communities such as Manchester Village and Glenview, often priced from $90,000 to $230,000. Subdivisions feature Colonial Revivals, split levels with Tudor influences, and ranch-style homes with gardens and trees in front lawns. Driveways often lead to attached two-car garages. Prices typically range from $300,000 to $590,000. According to Carneol, Glendale’s manufacturers and car dealerships lower taxes for residents, which may mean homeowners pay less than those living in communities like Whitefish Bay and Shorewood.
While River Edge sits along the Milwaukee River, it typically only gets mild flooding during heavy rainfall. Severe flooding occurred around Milwaukee and Glendale in August 2025, causing property damage and travel disruptions, though this weather isn’t typical for the region or community.
Ranch-style living is a staple in River Edge, where broad front yards and simple landscaping define the neighborhood.
