Lenox Heights, a small Milwaukee community near Wauwatosa
Lenox Heights is a triangular slice of Milwaukee's northwest side tucked between parks and suburban shopping centers.

Driving a little farther, you can reach the many popular malls and mom and pop business districts of Wauwatosa. Lenox Heights gives you access to Milwaukee and its bedroom communities, whether you’re commuting into East Town or riding the bus a few miles down the street.

A mix of homes and duplexes in northwest Milwaukee
Buyers can find a blend of popular single-family home styles from the early to mid-1900s, including bungalows, Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals. Smaller multifamily properties are also popular with local investors, especially duplexes. Single-family homes typically sell from the mid-$100,000s to the lower $200,000s. Multifamily properties sell from the upper $100,000s to the upper $300,000s. Lenox Heights has a median sale price in the lower $200,000s. That’s higher than nearby Saint Joseph and Dineen Park, but lower than Enderis Park. "We have more rentals here than other nearby neighborhoods, but we're a good starting point for the cost," says Don Percy, a resident of over 14 years.
