East Buckeye
A seller's market with limited home listings
The real estate market in East Buckeye is very competitive due to a persistent lack of inventory. An issue that’s been exaggerated by rising interest rates – there were two homes for sale in September 2023, compared to 12 a year prior. "The landscape has changed because no one wants to give up their rates, so fewer people are selling," Pearce says. The neighborhood is predominantly single-family with a median price near $390,000, on par with greater Madison. The housing stock was built largely between the ‘70s and ‘90s, with ramblers, split levels and classic colonials dotting the tree-lined sidewalks. Homes in East Buckeye range in price from $300,000 for a three-bedroom, one-bath in about 1,100 square feet on the low end to over $550,000 on the high end for a three-bedroom, three-bath in approximately 2,700 square feet.Language immersion classes, ASL course at Madison public schools
Families with children in East Buckeye are served by the Madison Metropolitan School District, a district with a B-plus from Niche but an A-plus in diversity. Kids can start their education at Henderson Elementary School, a B-graded school with a student-teacher ratio of 11 to 1, much better than the national average of 17 to 1. Also graded C-plus by Niche, Sennett Middle School has dual language immersion classes in Spanish and English, which teaches a second language and builds multicultural awareness. La Follette High School is an above-average high school with a B grade from Niche. La Follette offers a wide array of courses, including American Sign Language, sports officiating, personal finance, interior design and automotive technology.Views of downtown from Orlando Bell Park
Madison is known as an outdoor lover’s destination with public parks, lakeside amenities and cultivated green spaces. Set aside a serene pond in East Buckeye, Orlando Bell Park is a classic community park with facilities for basketball, soccer, ultimate Frisbee and bocce ball. There is an all-ages playground and a scenic walking bridge, and the park promises views of downtown Madison that sparkle in the distance at night. The neighborhood is within walking distance of Lake Monona, the second in the city’s beloved chain of lakes. Paths around the lake for hiking and biking link East Buckeye to amenities for miles in either direction.Route 51 connects to farm supplies, groceries and other shopping
The character of East Buckeye is quietly residential, but it runs adjacent to U.S. Route 51 on its west side, putting several shopping, entertainment and dining destinations within blocks of the neighborhood. For a morning caffeine fix, there’s a Starbucks at the intersection of Pflaum Road. There’s a Woodman’s Food Market for stocking up on groceries and essentials, including libations. Pet parents will appreciate the proximity to Mounds Pet Food Warehouse and Blain’s Farm & Fleet, a pet-friendly farm supply store with an auto shop and garden center. Habanero’s Mexican Grill is a familiar favorite locally, known for quick service in a casual setting. Red Rooster is a live music venue tucked away off the main roads that is known as one of the best blues bars in the city. Thursday jam sessions are popular with patrons.
