Styles and prices of homes in southwestern Milwaukee

Quiet, sidewalk-lined blocks make up most of Castle Manor. Developed largely after World War II, the neighborhood is a blend of the midcentury’s popular single-family housing styles like Cape Cods, bungalows and ranch-style homes. There are a handful of slightly newer colonial styles in the area, as well as townhouse-style condo communities. Those looking to rent will find several large apartment complexes clustered on the neighborhood’s north side.

Move-in-ready single-family homes sell from the lower $200,000s to around $500,000. Townhouse-style condos with two or three bedrooms sell from the mid-$100,000s to the lower $200,000s. Castle Manor has a median single-family home price in the lower $300,000s, which is higher than nearby Wilson Park and Mitchell West, but lower than Clayton Crest and Greenfield.

I really like the area in which I live because the neighbors have lived there for quite some time now and really look out for others in the area. They are all kind and it is an affordable place to live. My partner and I purchased a house there a few years ago and love how close it is to the airport, to Chicago and to local shopping, only minutes from downtown Milwaukee.
