Amenities include indoor and outdoor pools, an exercise room and sauna. These tend to sell between about $75,000 and into the low $100,000s.

Single-family properties include brick ranch-style homes with hardwood floors, picture windows and attached garages. These tend to sell between $200,000 and $300,000. “Often with these houses, there are family rooms beneath ground level, which gives the homes additional space,” says Realtor Ruth Robertson, who sells houses in the neighborhood with M3 Realty. Grantosa’s median sale price falls in the low $100,000s, generally making it less expensive than surrounding areas like Golden Valley, Lindsay Park and the city of Wauwatosa. “It is very affordable.
