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.
