Long View is a neighborhood in northwest Milwaukee that combines midcentury homes with easy access to the outdoors. Right next to Havenwoods State Forest, residents have miles of trails and green space that are hard to find in most city neighborhoods. With tree-lined streets, nearby schools and convenient access to major roads, Long View appeals to buyers who want a little more nature without giving up everyday convenience.
Long View’s homes mostly date back to the 1950s. Single-family ranch-style homes are found on nearly every block with detached garages and fenced backyards. Cape Cod-style homes add variety, and the occasional Colonial appears as well. Many properties have been updated over the years with refinished hardwood floors and modern kitchens. The median sale price is in the upper $100,000s, with homes generally ranging from the lower $100,000s to the mid-$200,000s. This generally makes the neighborhood more expensive than nearby communities like Lincoln Creek and Silver Spring, but less than Vogel Park, Lindsay Park and Columbus Park. “It’s a pretty quiet neighborhood,” says She’reah Fox, director of All Smiles Creative Learning Center, a local daycare. “You feel safe—you don’t see a lot of crime.”
Milwaukee Public Schools uses a school choice system, which lets families apply to schools throughout the city during a priority enrollment period. Public school options include Grantosa Drive School and Lancaster School, both of which serve elementary and middle school students. For high school, James Madison Academic Campus is nearby and offers dual enrollment courses through Milwaukee Area Technical College.
Dineen Park features a redesigned 18-hole disc golf course and a splash pad. Walking paths circle the park's lagoon, which is a popular spot for anglers. McGovern Park spreads across about 60 acres, with hiking trails that wind through a remnant hardwood forest. The park is a noted birding hotspot and home to the state's largest Chinquapin Oak tree.
There are a handful of reliable places to grab a meal close to home. Local restaurants and cafes cover everything from quick lunches to casual nights out:
Getting around Long View is straightforward for drivers. West Fond du Lac Avenue, West Appleton Avenue and North 76th Street provide direct routes to downtown, less than 10 miles away. Multiple Milwaukee County Transit System bus routes operate throughout the area, with stops on Hampton and Fond du Lac avenues.
