Arlington Heights, a historic north side neighborhood off I-94
Bungalows, small business districts and neighborhood parks have long filled blocks just off Interstate 43 in the Arlington Heights neighborhood. As with many historic parts of Milwaukee ’s north side, much of the community’s housing stock and commercial buildings show their age. That has kept prices competitive compared to the rest of the city, attracting investors and owner-occupants looking for walkability to playgrounds, local restaurants and bus stops or a less than 10-minute commute to downtown.
Buying or renting bungalows and duplexes on Milwaukee’s north side
Sidewalks, mature trees and a blend of historic homes line the blocks in Arlington Heights. Buyers will find many styles of bungalows built in the early 1900s, as well as some duplexes and small multifamily properties. Investors often purchase, update and rent properties here, and many residents rent rather than own homes. Single-family homes sell from around $40,000 to the lower $200,000s, depending on whether they need full rehabilitation or are move-in-ready. Multifamily properties sell from around $80,000 to the mid-$300,000s. Arlington Heights has a median single-family home price of around $100,000. That’s higher than nearby Borchert Field and Franklin Heights. It’s on par with Williamsburg Heights and lower than Rufus King. Housing values are much lower than in the overall Milwaukee metro area. "Most of the houses that are for sale are in pretty good shape," says Sandy Ertel, a Realtor with RE/MAX Lakeside. "The prices are lower here than in most neighborhoods to the north."
Close to neighborhood and specialty Milwaukee Public schools
Arlington Heights is part of Milwaukee Public Schools. The district uses a choice-based enrollment system, allowing students to apply to schools across the city or attend an assigned neighborhood school. Keefe Avenue School is a walkable option for elementary schoolers. Rufus King International High School is just outside the neighborhood, a highly rated specialty school known for its International Baccalaureate program.
Neighborhood parks on the north side and access to Lake Michigan
Small parks and green spaces break up Arlington Heights’ city blocks, and some of Milwaukee’s larger recreation hubs are a short drive away. You’re close to:
Lucille Berrien Park, offering a playground, seasonal splash park and basketball courts
Atkinson Triangle Park, a pocket park with a playground and sports courts on Atkinson Avenue
AtwaterPark, a sandy beach on Lake Michigan that’s less than 15 minutes away
Local businesses on Atkinson and Teutonia and nearby national chains
Atkinson and Teutonia avenues are Arlington Heights’ commercial strips, lined by gas stations, specialty businesses and a handful of local watering holes. You might like:
Stewart’s Rest Spot, a neighborhood bar with a pool table
Catfish Lounge, a longtime bar and grill that serves Southern-style comfort food
Stark Foods, one of the neighborhood’s handful of convenience stores
Aldi, Walmart and other major chains are about a mile away off Capitol Drive.
Community service at the Heal the Hood Block Party
Local organizers host festivals and service events in Arlington Heights, inviting neighbors to meet and take care of one another. One of the most popular is the annual Heal the Hood Block Party and Resource Fair. During the day, Atkinson Park becomes the center of a family-friendly vendor, music and food festival, with plenty of booths run by organizations offering youth programs, free groceries and more.
Taking public transit and I-43 around Milwaukee
You can merge onto Interstate 43 on the east side of Arlington Heights to drive around the greater Milwaukee area. East Town and its many corporate and cultural centers are about 5 miles away. That drive might take less than 10 minutes or upward of 20 minutes, depending on traffic. Milwaukee County Transit System buses serve main roads throughout Arlington Heights, with many stops within walking distance.
