Arbor Hills is where quiet suburbia meets plenty of parks and shopping
Arbor Hills is a small community roughly halfway between Downtown Madison and the West Side’s main shopping centers.

The neighborhood association ensures that there are plenty of local things to do throughout the year.

Older homes are experiencing revitalization
Arbor Hills was developed from the late 1950s to the 1960s, but its housing stock has expanded in supply and housing styles since then. “There’s a lot of ‘70s and ‘80s contemporary homes in there, which were very intriguing during the day, but very dated right now,” says Devery Cash, a Realtor with Keller Williams. “We see a lot of revival stuff going on right now—people really buying, updating and upgrading.” Ranch-style and split-level homes mix with the occasional Colonial Revival, Tudor and Contemporary-style property, many with renovated interiors. “The homes in Arbor Hells tended to be larger than Greentree, so it’s more of an undertaking for a lot of people,” Cash says. Condos and townhouses on Arbor Hills’ eastern edge sell from the low to high $200,000s, while single-family homes sell from the high $400,000s to the high $700,000s. The neighborhood’s median sale price of $537,000 is much higher than neighboring Dunn's Marsh's $330,000 and the town of Fitchburg's $476,000, though it’s lower than nearby Nakoma's $883,000.
Larger homes in Arbor Hills sometimes include Colonial Revival architecture.
Duplex and townhouse options are available along Arbor Hills’ eastern edge.

The Arboretum and other wildlife preserves immersion in nature
Arbor Hills is centered around a park of the same name, which features a hill that’s been popular for sledding and its Fitchburg skyline views since before the first houses popped up. The park also includes a playground and open spaces for field sports. The southern stretch of the UW—Madison Arboretum takes up much of the community’s western half, offering miles of hiking and cycling trails through preserved natural habitats full of wildlife. Arbor Hills is also across Fish Hatchery Road from the Nevin Springs Fish and Wildlife Area, which offers its own nature trails in addition to a dog park and marshland fishing ponds. Cyclists can veer off the 4-mile-long Cannonball Path to practice their BMX tricks at Aldo Leopold Park’s pump track.
The Cannonball Path runs along Arbor Hills’ eastern edge for biking and walking.
Wildlife sightings are common at the UW–Madison Arboretum near Arbor Hills.
