McGovern Park: where Milwaukee’s nature and city blocks meet
In northwest Milwaukee ’s McGovern Park, it’s just as easy to reach the nearest bus stop as it is to explore woodsy nature trails. The neighborhood shares its name with a large community park where people fish, take kids to the playground, play pick-up sports and chat on walking trails. Venture just a little farther from home, and you can find yourself hiking in an urban forest, shopping at Pick ‘n Save or walking the kids to a Milwaukee Public elementary school. Only 20 minutes from East Town, McGovern Park combines more typical urban conveniences with easy access to scenic lakes and hiking trails.
Single-family homes in northwest Milwaukee from $80,000
Most of the homes in McGovern Park date back to the mid-1900s. Classic single-family styles from the era line up behind grassy lawns and sidewalks, including Cape Cods and ranch-style homes. Buyers can find properties that need extensive renovations and higher-cost options that have been recently updated. Single-family homes sell from around $80,000 to the lower $200,000s. McGovern Park has a median single-family home price in the mid-$100,000s. That’s lower than nearby Silver Spring but on par with Old North Milwaukee and Hampton Heights. It’s much lower than Milwaukee’s overall home value.
Choice and neighborhood assignments with Milwaukee Public
McGovern Park is part of Milwaukee Public Schools. The district offers a choice system that allows students to apply to schools across the city. Families can also send children to assigned neighborhood schools that are close to home, including elementary options like Hampton School and Browning School.
Explore the outdoors at McGovern Park and Havenwoods State Forest
About a quarter of the neighborhood is made up of McGovern Park. Across more than 60 acres, you can explore woodsy nature trails or fish in a stocked lake. Basketball and tennis courts, a softball diamond, a playground and picnic areas offer more ways to enjoy the outdoors. Havenwoods State Forest, Wisconsin's only urban state forest, covers nearly 240 acres just outside McGovern Park. Hikers head there to explore 6 miles of trails through grasslands, woods and wetlands.
East Town commuting and easy bus access
It’s a roughly 10-mile drive to reach East Town. That drive can take from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. Multiple Milwaukee County Transit System routes service McGovern Park’s busier roads for those who prefer catching the bus. "A lot of people rely on public transportation. You could definitely live here without having a car," says Elizabeth Mitchell, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty-Milwaukee Southwest.
Commercial life close to home and at Midtown Center

Near plenty of chain fast food restaurants, House of Corned Beef is a local sandwich shop known for serving hefty portions of corned beef on Reuben sandwiches. You can pick up some groceries and household needs nearby, whether you’re stopping into Family Dollar or a convenience store. Midtown Center is less than 10 minutes away for larger shopping trips at the Pick 'n Save supermarket and other specialty stores.
