Welcome to Regent
Regent, one of Madison’s first suburbs, is right next to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Its location and winding tree-lined residential streets attract families of university professors, college students and other young professionals. The quiet residential areas allow for a degree of separation from the busy university atmosphere in the neighborhood’s northern half. This vibrant, youthful college atmosphere has fostered a close-knit community. In the fall, the entire area is awash in red and white as locals cheer on the Badgers on football Saturdays. The area is incredibly walkable and bikeable, with locals walking or riding their bikes to support local businesses.
The Regent neighborhood has a bit of everything for its residents to enjoy.

Old homes add charm
Some of the city’s most historic Victorian, Prairie-style, Tudor and Colonial homes are found in Regent, with some dating as far back as the 1890s. Nationally recognized architects Keck and Keck, George W. Maher, Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright all designed residences in the area. The neighborhood’s hilly terrain posed a challenge to builders, resulting in irregularly shaped lots, in-ground garages, steep front steps and nearly vertical backyards. In addition to classic homes, Regent also features Craftsman-style bungalows, condominiums and townhouses. Home prices in the area range from $260,000 to $1.7 million.
