Bluemound Heights has historic homes and easy access to I-94 and parks
Named for the Bluemound Road corridor that borders the neighborhood, Bluemound Heights is a community on Milwaukee ’s west side. Just south of Wauwatosa, it attracts homebuyers who want convenient access to I-94 and a variety of locally owned restaurants and shops. The neighborhood also has a strong sense of community, with local events and traditions bringing neighbors together. Historic homes add plenty of character, while parks, a community garden and a public K-12 Montessori school offer everyday amenities close to home.
There are quite a few bungalows in Bluemound Heights.
Classic homes with original details and updated interiors
Bluemound Heights is known for its collection of early 20th-century bungalows, Cape Cods and American Foursquares. Many of these homes still feature original details like hardwood floors, crown molding and covered front porches, while others have been renovated with more modern finishes.
The median sale price is in the mid-$200,000s, with homes typically ranging from the low $100,000s to the low $400,000s depending on condition. That puts the neighborhood in a similar price range as Fair Park, while generally remaining less expensive than nearby communities like Story Hill and Honey Creek Parkway.
West Bluemound Road dining and nearby retail
A stretch of restaurants along Bluemound Road helps give the area plenty of dining variety. These are some of the spots locals turn to for a meal:
Balistreri's Bluemound Inn, a long-standing Italian-American restaurant known for thin-crust pizza and housemade pasta
Maxie's, a Creole and Cajun spot with gumbo and smoked BBQ
Magoo's on the Mound, a neighborhood tavern with craft beer and pool tables
La Familia Kitchen Food Truck, a mobile eatery serving tacos, burritos and other Mexican fare
The commercial corridors along Bluemound Road and Miller Park Way make it easy to run errands and pick up groceries. Locals might also drive a few minutes west to Wauwatosa, where the Mayfair Mall and the Mayfair Collection draw shoppers with national retailers and big-name brands.
Balistreri's Bluemound Inn is another Milwaukee favorite near Bluemound Heights.

Trails, gardens and Brewers shuttles keep residents active
Locals come to Jacobus Park to walk shaded trails, spot wildlife and enjoy the scenic creek. The Bluemound Heights Community Garden offers a chance to grow produce, with fruit trees, a small library and garden beds.
During baseball season, Brewers fans take shuttles from Bluemound Road bars and restaurants to home games at American Family Field. “That’s something we’ve really enjoyed: walking from our house, jumping on a shuttle and going to baseball games,” says Kim Michels, president of the Bluemound Heights Neighborhood Association. “My family probably goes to 15 games a year because it’s so convenient to get there. We can actually walk home from the stadium as well.”
Bluemound Heights is near the Brewers home field.
The tennis courts at Juneau Playfield are taped for pickleball.

Downtown Milwaukee is a short drive from the neighborhood
Interstate 94 runs along the southern edge of Bluemound Heights, providing a direct route to downtown, about 5 miles away. West Blue Mound Road is another major corridor for local travel. The Milwaukee County Transit System operates multiple bus routes through the area with stops along O’Connor Street. “We can be anywhere in the Milwaukee area in minutes,” says Michels. “It’s very convenient where we live.”
MacDowell Montessori School offers an International Baccalaureate program for high schoolers.
A Montessori option within Milwaukee Public Schools
Bluemound Heights is part of Milwaukee Public Schools. MacDowell Montessori School is in the center of the neighborhood and serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. This institution features an International Baccalaureate curriculum at the high school level.
A neighborhood association hosts year-round events
The green space next to MacDowell Montessori hosts the Bluemound Heights Neighborhood Association’s annual Community Festival. “It’s our biggest opportunity to have a community event for all the neighbors to get together and have a good time,” Michels says. Attendees can buy food, enter raffles and participate in Yard Game Olympics events like cornhole and giant versions of Jenga and Connect4. The festival is a fundraiser for smaller year-round events like Easter and Halloween celebrations.
