A suburb where first time homebuyers can get in
Copernicus Park is a Milwaukee suburb where residents can walk to local restaurants, a public park and public schools. Commuters who live in Copernicus Park can hop directly on the interstate to reach jobs in the downtown. Copernicus Park, part of Milwaukee's Garden District, has a casual, unpretentious spirit. It's a neighborhood where residents mow their own lawns and host backyard cookouts on the weekends. “It’s a very good area with good prices for smaller houses than nearby suburbs like Clayton Rest,” says Realtor Ashok Sinha, who sells homes in the neighborhood with Homestead Realty. “There’s no homeowners association.”
Local dining options within walking distance
For a bite to eat, residents can take the sidewalks to dining options along South 27th Street, on the neighborhood’s west side. A block north of the neighborhood, Benny’s Café offers spacious booths, warm lighting and comfort dishes. Groups of old friends from Copernicus Park gather early for breakfast, specialty sandwiches are a hit around lunchtime and surf and surf-and-turf meals are always popular for dinner. Just across the road, Gyro27 offers casual digs and prints depicting Mediterranean scenery to match its food. Just west of the neighborhood, across South 27th Street, Pho Viet has long tables perfect for family-style dining over bowls of broth and plates of warm noodles. For a meal on the go, McDonald’s is on the southwest corner of the community. Just across the street, Holy Land International Market is a Middle Eastern grocery store that also sells fresh-baked goods and halal dishes to residents. Locals also shop at big-box retail options like Walmart and Home Depot.

Bungalows, split levels, ranch styles and a condo community
The neighborhood’s streets are lined with single-family homes shaded by old-growth trees. Some of the smaller and older homes attract first-time homebuyers, but the neighborhood's more recently built three-to-four-bedroom homes draw buyers who wish to expand. Two-bedroom bungalows from the 1930s sell for as low as $170,000, and 1970s brick and vinyl split levels sell for as high as $415,000. The neighborhood’s 1960s and 70s ranch-style houses sell for between $300,000 and $420,000. Parnell Woods Condominiums occupies several blocks in the western section, offering one-to-three-bedroom units between 1,000 and 1,500 square feet. “They are town house condominiums with carports attached,” says Realtor Mike Quinlevan, who sells homes in the condos in the neighborhood with Quinlevan & Armitage Team. “The community also has a pool. It’s just a nice, well-kept, quiet area.” One-bedroom condos start in the mid-$100,000s, and four-bedroom condos reach the mid-$200,000s. The majority of residents own their houses and condos.
Condos in Copernicus Park range from one bedroom units to spacious four bedroom options.
