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.
