Cooper Park, a northwest Milwaukee community near Wauwatosa
Homebuyers looking for affordable homes and convenience often find it in Cooper Park, a neighborhood in northwest Milwaukee. For lower prices than its neighbors, the area offers walkability to an updated community park, locally owned stores and a couple of Milwaukee Public Schools. A few miles away, you can find even larger green spaces on the Menomonee River and the many commercial destinations of Wauwatosa. From a settled spot away from major highways, Cooper Park offers easy access to neighborhood gems and the major commuter hubs of the greater Milwaukee area.
Lower prices for homes built in the 1940s
Trees shade sidewalks and single-family homes along the residential blocks of Cooper Park. Buyers will find a blend of the popular architectural styles of the 1940s, including Cape Cods, bungalows and Tudor Revival cottages. Many homes feature hardwood floors and full basements. These relatively small homes are surrounded by small, grassy lawns with enough space for backyard patios and a little bit of front yard landscaping. "Lot sizes are small, so you're close to neighbors both physically and emotionally," says Kyle Sprague, broker and owner at Firefly Real Estate LLC.
Move-in-ready homes sell from the lower $200,000s to the lower $400,000s. You can find fixer-uppers in the $100,000s. Cooper Park has a median single-family home price in the upper $200,000s. That’s lower than nearby Enderis Park, Mount Mary and Wauwatosa, but higher than Kops Park.
Blocks of single-family homes make up most of the neighborhood.

I have lived in the Cooper park neighborhood for all my life and all I can say is it is spectacular. It is such a connected community and everyone gets along. The only thing I would like to see change is the occasional car break in and garage break in. I would hate to see anything bad happen in this community because everyone is so kind. There is always support for those who need it.
