Jackson Park is a South Side Milwaukee neighborhood named after the large park at its center. Buyers are drawn to the mix of green space and everyday convenience, with miles of trails and a well-known farmers market nearby. Classic homes add character and variety, while shopping centers and transit routes are all close by.
Post-war Cape Cods and ranch-style homes make up most of the neighborhood’s stock, along with the occasional bungalow. Brick homes are common, and many feature Lannon stone exteriors. Single-family homes make up a large share of available properties, though duplexes and multi-family buildings can also be found. The median sale price is around the upper $200,000s, with prices ranging from the mid-$100,000s to the lower $400,000s. This generally makes Jackson Park a little more expensive than neighboring communities like Layton Park, Southgate and East Allis, but less expensive than Alverno or Greenfield.
Jackson Park is part of Milwaukee Public Schools, a district where students can apply to schools that fit their interests rather than being assigned by address. Ronald Reagan High School offers a four-year International Baccalaureate program, while Milwaukee German Immersion School teaches core subjects in German at the elementary level.
The Jackson Park neighborhood's namesake park spans over 100 acres and features a fully-stocked fishing lagoon with a paved trail encircling it. Other perks include a swimming pool and athletic courts. Manitoba Park offers a playground and open grassy areas for pick-up games. The Kinnickinnic River Parkway also runs through the area, providing a scenic route for walking and biking as part of Milwaukee's Oak Leaf Trail system.
