Architectural styles from throughout the 20th century
Kops Park's 3,000 residents live in a diverse collection of homes arranged along mostly straight streets with sidewalks. Many lots in the neighborhood back up to long alleys with detached garages, carports and sheds. Popular architectural styles from throughout the 20th century exist in the neighborhood, from pre-World War II Tudors and bungalows to midcentury Cape Cods and ranches. Prices reach $300,000, with floor plans over 1,500 square feet typically sitting towards the higher end. However, smaller yet well-kept homes can go for as little as $150,000, and the median price for a single-family home is $200,000. Houses in Milwaukee sell very quickly, and Kops Park properties are no exception. With listings lasting less than two weeks on the market, it's not uncommon to see "For Sale" signs taken down as quickly as they're put up.Summer and winter fun around Kops Park
Those looking to get outside can visit the 8-acre Kops Park at the center of the neighborhood. The green space is occupied by two softball diamonds, basketball hoops, and a disc golf basket. Young children can enjoy the playground and swing set or cool off in the wading pool during the summer. The park also hosts the annual National Night Out, which gathers neighbors over free food, games and rides to meet and discuss local issues with area law enforcement. Golfers can get a round in at the public course west of Kops Park. Currie Park features 18 holes and is also a popular spot for sledding and cross-country skiing in the winter.
Language immersion program at the school in town
Next door in Golden Valley is the public pre-k and elementary school, Ninety-Fifth Street School. It is rated a C-minus by Niche.com and has a student-teacher ratio of 22 to 1. Older students can walk to Milwaukee School of Languages in minutes. Sixth through 12th graders can connect with international cultures in one of three language immersion programs: French, German or Spanish. The B-minus-rated public school also hosts a series of courses in Japanese and is focused on preparing students for life after graduation. Students of all ages can also participate in sports year-round, from middle school flag football to varsity tennis.Walk or drive for work and errands
The neighborhood is near grocery stores and pharmacies, making it moderately walkable. Still, many residents drive their cars for commuting or running errands. Commuters can get downtown in 20 minutes by car or take a bus running along the perimeter of Kops Park. Most Milwaukee destinations are within a half-an-hour of Kops Park, including Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport and nearby hospitals.Long-standing locally-owned establishments
A sense of neighborly community defines several locally owned shops in and around Kops Park. Collector's Edge Comics has operated a store in Kops Park for over 30 years. Consistently named Milwaukee's best comic bookstore by the Shepherd Express, it bills itself as the state's "largest over-the-counter comics retailer," with hundreds of thousands of issues in its collection. Down the road is longtime-standing Bunzel's Old-Fashioned Meat Market, which the Bunzel family has owned and operated for four generations. Though the store closed after current owner Chip Bunzel's grandfather passed, his father reopened it in 1976 and brought all six kids to work with him. "It was scary, but we managed to keep things afloat, and the community has been great to us," Chip says. Today, new and returning patrons love to browse the shop's selection of regionally sourced meats, including award-winning beef jerky. "During the summer, we'll go through an awful lot of brats, and on Saturdays, we'll have our hot dog stand outside," Chip says. Residents can head west to the major plazas along Burleigh Street and N 124th Street for more familiar shopping. Familiar chain restaurants accompany Target, Whole Foods, T.J. Maxx and other stores.
