Small-town feeling near a big city
Honey Creek Manor sits in the southwest side of Milwaukee and offers proximity to the action of downtown while staying quiet and residential. A feeling of community and liveliness pulse throughout this Milwaukee neighborhood. Honey Creek Manor is a great spot to invest in life's little pleasures, thanks to an Italian bakery overflowing with handmade pastries, a pawn shop packed with tchotchkes of yesteryear and a small wealth of pool tables at the nearby watering hole. "It's a nice little pocket area," says local real estate agent Beth Jaworski. "It's convenient to everything, yet quiet and friendly. The freeway and major streets are nearby, and an elementary school is in the neighborhood, too."
