Middleton enclave centered around Northside Elementary
With a highly esteemed elementary school, moderately priced homes, and a beautiful nature conservancy within its borders, Northside is a Middleton neighborhood rife with amenities. “There are a lot of young families moving to the area because the schools in Middleton are great, all the way from the elementary to high school level,” says local real estate agent John Aronica of Restaino & Associates. Brandon Grosse, a broker with Accord Realty who attended the neighborhood’s Northside Elementary, agrees. “The schools in Middleton are super well-rated,” he says. “Plus, you’re basically right outside of Madison. So you have the convenience of Madison’s city amenities, but it’s still got a small-town feel.” Lined by trees and sidewalks, the residential streets of this neighborhood offer suburban comforts less than 25 minutes from downtown Madison, with standout Middleton parks and restaurants even closer.
Homes in Northside have large front lawns that stretch out to the sidewalks.

From condos to custom homes
Homes in Northside were generally built between the 1970s and the early 2000s, covering a variety of architectural styles. Many ranch-style homes populate the lightly forested streets and cul-de-sacs alongside split-level designs and New Traditional two-story homes. No two houses are exactly alike, with an eclectic array of features that makes each one stand out. More subtle stylistic flairs include colorful shutters and rustic wood siding, while more ostentatious homes feature quirks like Tudor-inspired half-timbering, ornate Victorian gable trim and Prairie-style low-hipped roofs. A two-bedroom condo near Century Place might sell for between $100,000 and $200,000, while single-family homes throughout the rest of the neighborhood might list for as low as the mid-$300,000s or climb into the mid-$600,000 range, depending on the number of bedrooms.

Explore the flora and fauna around Graber Pond
Northside’s primary outdoor escape is the Graber Pond Conservancy Area, a 33-acre site where reed canary grass rustles in the wind beside the pond. Residents can take a stroll along the Graber Pond Trail to get up close and personal with any number of waterfowl, from wood ducks and Canada geese to blue and green herons. Anglers can even go fishing off the pond’s dock year-round if they feel like catching some smallmouth or largemouth bass. “There’s lots of biking opportunities, and you’re also not far from the lake,” Grosse says. “We’ve got Lake Mendota in Middleton, so there’s a couple of different parks with docks and beaches and playgrounds for kids.” Other ways to get some fresh air in Northside include the miniature Hawkridge Park, an ideal spot to watch the little ones dig in the sandbox. Sporty residents can hit Northside Elementary’s baseball diamonds or cross the street to the Middleton Hills soccer field for a quick game.

Commute into downtown Madison in less than 25 minutes
Like most Middleton neighborhoods, Northside is somewhat walkable and bikeable, thanks to its bike lanes and sidewalks. “You could probably walk to downtown Middleton from there, or you can definitely ride a bike,” Grosse says. U.S. Route 12 is just west of the neighborhood, offering residents a direct avenue to other Middleton and Madison hotspots. Downtown Madison is about 14 miles away, or roughly a 25-minute drive. Or, residents can take the Metro Transit bus along Century Avenue to popular destinations such Capitol Square or the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dane County Regional Airport is approximately 12 miles away on the opposite side of Lake Mendota, a drive that takes 20 to 25 minutes.

International cuisines converge in Middleton
With Parmenter Street and Century Avenue running adjacent to the neighborhood, Northside residents can quickly travel to several local eateries. “Right next to there in Middleton Hills is a great Mexican restaurant called Pasqual’s Cantina, and there’s a Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream location right across the street,” Grosse says. “So you can get tacos, margaritas and ice cream — that doesn’t sound so bad.” Those who dig Asian cuisine will love having Trio Ramen close by. This recent addition to the Middleton food scene features a relaxing, wood-decorated interior where diners can enjoy noodles in a rich, savory broth. Offering more bites from across the globe, Pikkito gets rave reviews for its classic Peruvian cuisine, with dishes including ceviche and flan.
