Fair Park, a west Milwaukee neighborhood that hosts the state fair
The west side neighborhood of Fair Park is centered by the major Milwaukee event space that gives it its name: Wisconsin State Fair Park. Many from the Brew City visit this nearly 200-acre venue for carnival fun, speedway racing, concerts and more, but few are as familiar with the mid-20th-century neighborhood streets just off the main drag. Here, you can find lower-cost housing within walking distance of the official U.S. Olympic speedskating training facility, neighborhood bars and a Milwaukee County Transit System park and ride. Both Interstate 94 and the Hank Aaron State Trail pass through the neighborhood, offering straightforward commutes or breezy bike rides toward downtown Milwaukee.
Fair Park is a neighborhood in the heart of Milwaukee, WI.

Competitively priced homes in western Milwaukee
Blocks of single-family homes fill the east and west sides of Fair Park on either side of Wisconsin State Fair Park. Buyers will find a mix of smaller single-family homes built from the early to mid-20th century, including bungalows, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes. Investors often look for single-family homes and small multifamily properties to rent or flip in this area. Prices range from the mid-$100,000s to the upper $200,000s. Fair Park has a median single-family home price in the mid-$200,000s. That’s lower than nearby Cannon Park, Honey Creek Parkway, Fairview Park and LaFollette Park.

Neighborhood and choice options through Milwaukee Public Schools
Most of Fair Park is part of Milwaukee Public Schools. The district assigns students to neighborhood schools but also offers school choice to different specialty and charter schools. A handful of neighborhood options are within a couple of miles of home, including Luther Burbank Elementary School. A small, southern section of Fair Park falls within the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District. All of Wisconsin has access to statewide school choice and voucher programs.
Walkable fun at Wisconsin State Fair Park
All kinds of fairs, festivals, concerts and special events come to the Wisconsin State Fair Park throughout the year. Locals are within walking distance of:
Wisconsin State Fair, an 11-day extravaganza featuring agricultural exhibits, live music, rides and famous cream puffs
Harvest Fair, an autumnal festival with pumpkin bowling, live music, lumberjack shows and a farmers market
IndyCar Weekend, one of the many engine-revving car racing events at the Milwaukee Mile Speedway
Living near bus service, interstates and a Milwaukee area bike trail
When it comes to getting to a nearby event or local business, Fair Park is fairly walkable. “We hear people all the time on our social media channels saying they live close to the fair park, they used to walk there as kids, and they continue to do so as a family as they get older,” says Tess Kerksen, the former director of public relations for the Wisconsin State Fair Park. Residents usually rely on cars or Milwaukee County Transit System buses to get around the greater Milwaukee area. You can easily get on Interstate 94 or Interstate 41 from the neighborhood’s west side. East Town ’s central business district is about 6 miles away. That’s a roughly 10-minute drive, but rush hour traffic and busy events at the fairgrounds can impact travel time.

You might bike to a Brewers game at American Family Field, just a couple of miles from home. The Milwaukee County Zoo is also only a couple of miles away.
