As the locals like to say, Menomonee River Hills is "up near Timmerman," referring to the small county airport at the southern end of the neighborhood. Timmerman Airport caters to private and business travelers, so don't be surprised when a few small planes fly overhead. According to Realtor Holly Speranza of Keller Williams-MNS Wauwatosa, Menomonee River Hills is "an older, nicely established community. You often see people who have been there for thirty, forty, fifty years."
Many of the neighborhood's single-family houses have been renovated, bringing modernity to these one- and two-story homes. Colonial and ranch styles in the upper $100,000s and lower $200,000s are common sights, each on modest-sized lots in fairly close proximity. Overall, prices range from $129,000 to $437,000. Since Menomonee River Hills is 15 miles from downtown, residents enjoy a bit more breathing room than you would in the more densely populated Milwaukee neighborhoods.
Students in Menomonee River Hills have a handful of schools to choose from. Elms Creative Arts Elementary School has an overall Niche grade of C-minus. Morse Middle School for the Gifted and Talented has a C-minus from Niche. Rufus King International High School, a public co-educational International Baccalaureate (IB) high school, has an A grade from Niche.
Noyes Park is a 71-acre community gathering space, featuring a golf course with a driving range and practice green. Residents can hike the tree-shaded nature study area or use the indoor pool, which includes diving boards. Little Menomonee River snakes along the neighborhood's western edge with the parallel Oak Leaf Trail connecting to other Milwaukee area parks. Uihlein Soccer Park is a nearby option that is also home to the Milwaukee Kickers. This indoor/outdoor soccer complex dates back to 1994 and includes options for field hockey and ultimate frisbee.
Locals head to ALDI for grocery shopping. Hungry residents can head to Hup's Pizza for a quick slice or to Culver's for a juicy burger. While Menomonee River Hills is fairly limited in its variety when it comes to amenities, Speranza reports that many residents appreciate the neighborhood's proximity to Wauwatosa, which "has a cute downtown that people like to visit." For more options, locals travel to Wauwatosa, where there are department stores, grocery stores and restaurants gracing the streets, making Menomonee River Hills' location that much more desirable.
Because of the distance to downtown and not much access to public transportation, most residents depend on their cars to get to work. The commute to General Mitchell International Airport is a 23-mile drive.
O'Reilly Auto Parts sits in the southeastern part of the neighborhood, offering a free loaner tool program and brake rotor resurfacing in addition to part sales. Just down the street, the Milwaukee-Northwest DMV goes the extra mile to offer Saturday morning hours for locals to keep their licenses and registrations in order. Mechanically inclined car owners will appreciate On-Kaul Auto Salvage, where they can buy used car and truck parts for most makes and models.
