A walkable, thoughtfully designed Middleton neighborhood

About a mile north of Middleton’s downtown is Middleton Hills, a master-planned community boasting finely crafted homes, a diverse selection of nearby restaurants and direct access to a sweeping nature conservancy. “We loved the Frank Lloyd Wright-esque design of the homes,” says local real estate agent and former neighborhood resident John Aronica. “And during the summer we would walk to downtown Middleton all the time– it only takes about 15 minutes.” With its stately Prairie-style homes that range in price from $400,000 to well over $1 million, in sizes running from modest to sprawling to match, homeowners here are attracted to the thoughtfully designed houses and neighborhood layout.

Homes

Middleton Hills began development in the late 1990s and today comprises over 400 detached homes. Its winding streets feature verdant views of the surrounding hills and are all flanked by sidewalks, offering pedestrian access to businesses, parks and a nearby elementary school. The neighborhood’s unique housing stock features singular spins on the midwestern bungalow, as well as homages to Prairie and Arts and Crafts architectural styles. Meanwhile, the Gardd Parc Condominium Homes building at the southern end of the neighborhood offers one- and two-bedroom units; residents can enjoy amenities including exercise and theater rooms. These condos tend to cost from the low to high $300,000s, while detached homes in Middleton Hills start around $400,000 and can run close to the $1.5 million mark, especially for constructions with 4,000 square feet or more.

Kids attend highly rated Middleton schools

Northside Elementary School sits along the western edge of Middleton Hills, making it easy for young residents to walk or bike to class in the morning. This public school for kindergarten through fourth grade doesn’t just boast an A rating from Niche; it also carries a healthy dose of school spirit. Every National Dolphin Day (April 14), Northside teachers dress up as the school’s marine mascot and treat students to a dessert bar. Two other highly rated schools, Kromrey Middle and Middleton High, are both within a five-minute drive of the neighborhood and hold an A rating or higher, according to Niche.

Bordered by a sprawling nature conservation

Directly east of the neighborhood is the Pheasant Branch Conservancy, an expanse of open-water marshes, prairies, forests and springs. Residents can walk from their Middleton Hills home to Pheasant Branch’s 3-mile trail loop to spot a host of colorful fauna, from deer and frogs to songbirds and cranes. The observation platform on Frederick’s Hill offers a breathtaking view of the conservancy’s varied topography, including the shimmering waters of Pheasant Branch Creek. Middleton Hills also has several public green spaces within its boundaries, including two neighborhood parks: one with basketball and volleyball courts and a boardwalk winding through a wetland area, the other with a baseball diamond and a covered picnic shelter.

From fine dining to casual cafes, all a 15-minute walk away

Even those who live in the neighborhood’s farthest reaches are a mere 15-minute walk from several eateries and amenities in the Middleton Hills shopping area. Locals follow up their morning walk with a tasty cup of joe at Prairie Café & Bakery, where they enjoy any number of coffee beverages and classic breakfast dishes beside a warm fireplace. Just across the street, Lupe’s Taqueria lets patrons construct tailor-made tacos in a casual setting with luchador-inspired décor. For something on the fancier side, 1847 at the Stamm House lies two minutes down the road. This fine dining establishment operates out of a pre-Civil War building that’s gone through various incarnations, including as a service store, a hotel and a speakeasy.

Residents and local businesses host events for the community

The network of sidewalks and parks that connect the homes of Middleton Hills lends this neighborhood a strong sense of community. Instead of having events thrown by a homeowners association, residents come together for grassroots celebrations like the Fourth of July parade, where kids paint the streets in red, white and blue on decked-out bicycles. Other events, like Music in the Hills, are co-sponsored by local businesses like Prairie Café & Bakery to bring some fun in the sun to the neighborhood.
