Merrill Park offers historic architecture and west side convenience
Merrill Park was developed on Milwaukee's west side to house railroad workers around the turn of the 20th century. The grand architecture of the early 1900s is still what the area is known for, from a Taj Mahal-inspired event venue to a highly rated private school to rows of Queen Anne and Craftsman homes along residential blocks. Things have changed in Merrill Park; many grand homes have been converted into apartments, and you’re much more likely to work for Harley-Davidson, Molson Coors or a company in East Town than for a railyard. However, the kinds of things that drew immigrants to Merrill Park generations ago continue to draw residents to this day: walkability to schools and community hubs, paired with a straightforward commute to Milwaukee-area employers.
Merrill Park has a great playground for residents to enjoy.

Blocks of lower priced historic homes on the west side
Large Victorian, Arts and Crafts and Tudor Revival homes decorate some of Merrill Park’s sidewalk-lined blocks. Mature trees also shade less ornate National homes and bungalows throughout the neighborhood. Many houses retain historic architectural details like original woodwork and covered front porches. You can find both highly renovated houses and fixer-uppers in the community. Buyers will also find duplexes and other small multifamily properties, including subdivided historic mansions. Between larger apartment complexes and smaller investor-owned buildings, most residents in Merrill Park rent rather than own homes. Single-family homes typically sell from around $100,000 to the lower $300,000s. Multifamily properties sell from the lower $100,000s to the mid-$400,000s. Merrill Park’s median single-family home price is in the lower $200,000s. That’s lower than nearby Concordia, Story Hill and Martin Drive. It’s higher than Avenues West and Silver City.

Close to Milwaukee Public Schools and a top-rated private school
Merrill Park is served by Milwaukee Public Schools. It uses an open enrollment system, allowing students to apply to schools across the city.

Marquette University High School, which gets an A-plus rating from Niche, is a popular private option in the neighborhood. “With Marquette being there, our streets are swept, and our snow is plowed," says Sharlen Moore, Milwaukee District 10’s Alderwoman and a resident who runs the Merrill Park Neighbors community organization. "The city supports the neighborhood by supporting the school.”
Marquette University High School is an all-boys Catholic school for grades nine through 12.

Interstate 94 runs along the southern edge of the neighborhood, offering a roughly 3-mile drive to the East Town business district.
