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 school. Only 20 minutes from East Town, McGovern Park combines 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 median price.
