Grandview Emerson's historic homes surrounded by nature and culture
Just east of downtown La Crosse and the Mississippi River, Grandview Emerson has been a popular area since the turn of the century. Some streets retain their original red brick, and many homes trace back to the neighborhood's earliest days. "The stone foundations of some of the more prominent properties were actually quarried [at Grandad Bluff]," says Dan Stacey of RE/MAX Results Eden Prarie, a Realtor born and raised in this city. Grandad Bluff is the highest peak in La Crosse and a key part of its diverse topography, which includes marshland and ravines. One of the city's most popular parks, Myrick Park, and the University of Wisconsin is in Grandview Emerson.
Grandview Emerson is filled with historic homes nestled near the bluffs of La Crosse.
The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse campus is located in the Grandview Emerson neighborhood.

Stately homes and small cottages near the park and university
"[The neighborhood] offers larger scale historic homes. Some are [on the national register], some are not. There's an interesting blend from craftsman-style to Tudor-[Revivals] to Colonial-[Revivals]," Stacey says. "There are some 1920s bungalows through there as well." Prices range from around $143,000 upwards of $600,000 as square footage increases. A few stately homes in Romanesque and Neoclassical styles range from $995,000 to over $1 million. Another small handful are condos and multifamily properties, ranging from around $155,000 to $555,000. Sidewalks wrap around modest lots, and mature oaks create shade. Homes near Myrick Park have been affected by flash floods in the past. Stacey says student housing is limited, maintaining a quiet neighborhood feeling.

Swimming, fishing and boating and miles of trails keep people active
Myrick Park has a lake with a fishing pier for local anglers. Surrounded by marsh and bluffs, people also head there to play tennis, bring their kids to the playground and run, bike and hike the trails connecting to Hixon Forest. The forest's trails lead to Grandad Bluff and its expansive city view, as well as the public Forest Hills Golf Course. They're also used for cross-country skiing in the winter. Veteran's Memorial Pool is a local spot to splash in the summer. People also swim and take their boats out into the river from Black River Beach, around 3 miles away. Riverside Park is closer, roughly 2 miles west, at the confluence of the city's three rivers. The park is known for its international friendship garden and hosts longstanding events, including Riverfest, held annually in July since 1983.
Hixon Forest is a popular park for those who enjoy being active.
