Northern Milwaukee suburb
Named for the lazy stream on its northern border, Lincoln Creek is a neighborhood that’s established a reputation for its close-knit community. "Most homeowners have been here for a very long time," says Anna Morton, a real estate agent for Milwaukee's Best Real Estate Services LLC. “So, folks who move here can trust their neighbors will know the area and its history well.”
Known for its historic homes, this northwestern Milwaukee neighborhood also benefits from proximity to the heart of the city, easy access to shopping and lower-than-average home prices.

Cape Cods and creekbeds
Well-maintained sidewalks connect one side of the neighborhood to the other, with maple and ash trees dotting the streets. Detached garages connect to back alleyways, offering private parking options. Cape Cod homes are typical, often featuring earth-toned brick, siding and stone facades. Ranch-style houses are also a popular style on the neighborhood's slender lots.
Prices begin in the high $50,000s for smaller homes needing renovation and grow into the mid-$200,000s for larger homes closer to parks and other natural beauty. “The most desirable houses are those that back right up to the creek,” says Alexander Reid, agent with HomeSmart Connect. “It’s a nice, flowing creek that offers a little peace—a little zen.”
