A conveniently placed, albeit tiny, Madison community
With a large industrial section, a public elementary school at its heart and access to three major roadways, Hawthorne is a convenient neighborhood for living, learning and working in eastern Madison. Hawthorne sits at the junction between Route 51 and Route 30, which consists of a few residential streets adjacent to local businesses. Residents take two or three turns and quickly find themselves in Downtown Madison (about 15 minutes west), Milwaukee (slightly over an hour east) or any number of nearby hotspots. Another point of interest is the affordability of the homes. “It’s certainly less expensive than the Downtown area,” says Realtor Ryan Oliversen of Bunbury & Associates Realtors. Proximity to the airport for out-of-town trips, plus the negligible commute in each direction, make Hawthorne a desirable suburb.
Hawthorne is less than five miles from downtown, and the state capitol building.
Look carefully, and you will spot several Free Little Libraries in Hawthorne.

Various home styles from the mid-20th century
Just under 1,000 Madisonians live on Hawthorne’s generously wooded residential streets, some with direct sidewalk access. Single-family homes, including simple, linear ranch-style houses, split-levels, Colonials and Cape Cods, are the predominant designs. While most were built around the mid-20th century, a handful of bungalows in the neighborhood date back to the 1920s. “A lot of these houses are a little older and have a smaller footprint,” says Oliversen. “It’s great if you’re attracted to that particular architecture.” Buyers will also find a few duplexes. Some homes are two-story, side-by-side units, while others are ranch-style, single-story buildings. Ranch styles range between $225,000 and $325,000. More spacious contemporary builds reach the mid-$300,000s.
Hawthorne has a variety of smaller single-family homes, including bungalow and rambler styles.
Some unique, renovated Cape Cod-style homes can also be found in Hawthorne.

Older students are within a 10-minute drive of Georgia O'Keeffe Middle School, rated B-plus by Niche. For over 100 years, Madison East High’s Collegiate Gothic building has hosted acclaimed academic programs. The school earns an A-minus grade from Niche.

Pups, pints and picking up groceries in Hawthorne
For the folks at the Boneyard, a drink in hand and a furry friend make the day perfect. Just four minutes from Hawthorne, folks let their pups off the leash while enjoying a pint on tap. Patrons stay warm year-round next to the blazing fire pits and enjoy frequent events, including live music and trivia. Brothers Three Bar & Grill is an easygoing American lunch, brunch and dinner spot, mere blocks from many residents. “It’s been there for a very long time. It was recently purchased by a younger owner who’s done a good job of remodeling it, sprucing up the menu and trying to make it more appealing to younger people,” says Realtor Timothy Flores of EXP Realty LLC. “Most customers visit (and revisit) Brothers Three for its Friday fish fries and hamburgers.” Several major retailers also operate within three or four minutes of Hawthorne. Walmart Supercenter sits directly across Route 51, while Hy-vee, Pick n Save, and Aldi grocery stores are just a bit farther away. Meanwhile, industrial businesses in Hawthorne offer concrete, construction and landscaping services — not to mention a quick commute.

A short drive in each direction
Hawthorne is such a small community that much of the surrounding amenities are already walkable. That said, Madison’s Metro does offer bus routes that run into neighboring areas. Accessing Downtown Madison takes about an hour by bus during rush hour. The commute into Middleton is another half hour long. “Hawthorne is on or near the flight path for Dane County Regional Airport, so you’re going to get some noise pollution,” says Oliversen.
Hop on the bus from the Hawthorne neighborhood and be in downtown Madison in minutes.
Commuters in Hawthorne have an easy time, being so close to both Highways 51 and 30.
