Capitol Heights is a hub of midcentury homes and commerce in Milwaukee
Capitol Heights takes its name from Capitol Drive, which borders this part of Milwaukee's northwest side. Here, quiet residential streets connect to active commercial corridors, home to established business districts and buzzy redevelopment sites. Down the block, kids can walk to the local Milwaukee public high school, and there are several large county parks about 5 minutes away. The commute into Milwaukee’s city center is straightforward, whether you’re catching the bus or joining the traffic on Fond du Lac Avenue.
Colorful rows of homes line the streets of Capitol Heights.

Prices for midcentury single-family homes and duplexes
Brick ranch-style homes and Cape Cods from the mid-1900s line many of Capitol Heights’ streets. Homebuyers can also find older bungalows and colonials. Some houses have seen updates over the years, but the older housing stock also means you can find opportunities for sweat equity in the area. A handful of duplexes are mixed in among the single-family homes, and they are especially popular with investors.
Move-in-ready single-family homes sell from the lower $100,000s to the lower $300,000s, and fixer-uppers can go for under $70,000. Duplexes range from the mid-$100,000s to the upper $200,000s. Capitol Heights has a median single-family home price in the upper $100,000s. That’s lower than nearby Columbus Park, Arlington Gardens and Grasslyn Manor. It’s higher than nearby Lincoln Creek, but on par with Long View and Dineen Park.
Ranch-style homes can be seen throughout Capitol Heights.
Bungalows can be seen throughout Capitol Heights.
