Suburban neighborhood close to Milwaukee amenities
Johnson's Woods is a small residential pocket on Milwaukee's west side that, for a long time, was nothing but undeveloped land owned by an early resident, Dr. James Johnson. In the early 20th century, Dr. Johnson’s relatives started developing the land. The rest of Milwaukee developed around it, too. Today, Johnson's Woods has some big-name neighbors: American Family Field, Calvary Cemetery, and the Clement J. Zablocki Veterans’ Administration Medical Center are less than a mile to the east; The Milwaukee Mile Speedway and Wisconsin State Fair Park are about 2 miles to the west. Johnson's Wood's residents get quick access to some of the city’s most popular amenities while enjoying suburban-style streets with single-family homes and manicured front yards.

Just a couple miles from the Wisconsin State Fair
One of Milwaukee's marquee events is the multi-day Wisconsin State Fair, which brings crowds out to battle the traffic to Wisconsin State Fair Park. But for residents of Johnson's Woods, it's a short walk to enjoy the rides, live entertainment, and, of course, the food, which includes the Fair's signature item, cream puffs. "We make about 400,000 cream puffs in the 11 days of the fair alone," says the park's Director of Public Relations Tess Kerksen. “It’s a representation of the Dairy State. They’ve been around for nearly 100 years now, and we’ve been making them in the same building.”
