Midcentury homes with modern updates

Cannon Park has mostly mid-20th-century Colonials, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes. Inside, hardwood floors and natural fireplaces are common, and many homes have been updated with modern kitchens. Outside, detached garages and private patios are typical. The median sale price is in the low $300,000s, with prices generally ranging from the mid-$200,000s to the low $400,000s. This generally makes the neighborhood more expensive than communities like Honey Creek Parkway and Fair Park, but less expensive than Wauwatosa.

Outdoor fun at the local park and nearby Milwaukee zoo

The neighborhood's namesake park has a soccer field, basketball court and playground. For a larger adventure, the Milwaukee County Zoo is just across the interstate. Spanning nearly 200 acres, this wildlife park is home to more than 2,200 animals. “We're only closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, so people can visit the zoo any time of the year,” says Marketing Communications Director Laura Pedriani. “We have events year-round, but one of our larger events is called A La Carte at the Zoo. It's a food and entertainment festival, and it happens the third weekend in August. We have 20 restaurants and six stages of entertainment.”

Shopping at Mayfair Mall and dining around Wauwatosa

  • Brim Cafe & Catering, which offers sandwiches and smoothies inside the Honey Creek Corporate Center
  • Blue's Egg and Bakery, a brunch spot that applies fine-dining techniques to morning classics
