A blend of apartments, condos and detached single-family homes

You can find a mix of rental properties and owner-occupied homes throughout Maple Tree. Residents can rent units in larger apartment complexes or investor-managed side-by-side duplexes. Those looking to buy might opt for townhouse-style condos or detached bi-level and ranch-style homes. “You can live in something like that cheaper when buying than you can by renting,” says Bob Yeager, a Realtor with Realty Executives Elite. “Plus, the homes are well-maintained.” Mature trees shade many residential streets, but sidewalks connect only some parts of the neighborhood. Condos sell from around $70,000 to the lower $100,000s. Single-family homes go in the lower $200,000s. Duplexes and triplexes range from the lower $200,000s to the lower $300,000s. Maple Tree has a median sale price in the lower $100,000s. That’s lower than nearby Menomonee River Hills, Florist Highlands and Mill Valley.

A neighborhood option and school choice with Milwaukee Public Schools

Maple Tree is served by Milwaukee Public Schools. The neighborhood shares a name with Maple Tree School, an elementary school that’s within walking distance for many students. Families can also send kids to other neighborhood, specialty and charter schools through MPS’s school choice program.

Maple Tree residents rely on public transportation for easy access to the surrounding areas.

Freeway access and bus routes through Maple Tree

The Fond du Lac Freeway borders Maple Tree, taking commuters toward Interstate 41 or closer to the East Town business district. Downtown is about 10 miles away, a drive that can take 20 to 40 minutes depending on the time of day and traffic conditions. A few main roads are lined with Milwaukee County Transit System bus stops for those using public transportation.

Connected to Milwaukee County Parks by the Oak Leaf Trail

Part of the Oak Leaf Trail runs through Maple Tree. You can walk and bike along the Little Menomonee River to many county parks that are connected by over 120 miles of pathways. One of the closest stops on the trail is Dretzka Park, a more than 300-acre green space. People go there to play on traditional golf and disc golf courses, to picnic or to sled down snowy hills in the winter.

Within minutes of northwest Milwaukee diners, grocery stores and more

Maple Tree is about five minutes from well-loved local restaurants and busy chain stores, whether you’re hopping onto the Fond du Lac Freeway or heading up 107th Street. Some nearby staples include:

  • El Greco Family Restaurant, a diner serving Greek fare and American comfort food
  • Park Place Cafe, a favorite spot for big portions of breakfast staples
  • Goodwill Outlet, a haven for bargain hunters offering by-the-pound pricing
  • Woodman's Markets, a warehouse-style store for bulk groceries
  • Aldi, another option for weekly grocery trips
