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 in Middleton Hills come in all shapes and sizes, and are well-maintained by their owners.

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.
