Condos with community amenities and single-family homes

Most residents live in Mill Valley Homes, a private condo community. Units with one to three bedrooms fill low-rise buildings connected by walking paths and landscaping. Beyond property maintenance and utilities, HOA fees go toward access to amenities like a clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts and pools. Buyers can also find single-family homes, settled along country roads or lining curving, suburban subdivisions. There are classic older styles like Cape Cods and ranch-style homes, as well as more modern New Traditional houses with larger floor plans.

Condos sell from around $70,000 to the upper $100,000s. Single-family homes range from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$500,000s. Mill Valley has a median sale price in the mid-$100,000s. That’s lower than Park Knoll, Florist Highlands and Menomonee Falls. It’s higher than Maple Tree.

Easy access to I-41 connects you to all of Milwaukee

"It's literally right next to the access point to Interstate 41, which will get you to Milwaukee and the Waukesha area pretty quickly," says Realtor Micah Jensen of Premier Point Realty. Interstate 41 divides Mill Valley, making it easy to get around the Milwaukee area by car. East Town is about 15 miles away. That drive can take 20 to 45 minutes, depending on road conditions. Some residents can walk to Milwaukee County Transit System bus stops on 107th Street, but the area is fairly car-dependent.

Near a dog park and other Milwaukee County recreation areas

Just north of Mill Valley, Granville Dog Park offers 10 acres of grassy hills and wooded trails for pups to explore. You can also let your dog swim and wade in the Menomonee River, which borders this partially fenced park. You’re about 3 miles from Dretzka Park, known for its public 18-hole golf course and 27-hole disc golf course. The park’s courses and picnic areas are connected to the rest of Milwaukee County’s parks by the Oak Leaf Trail, a system with over 130 miles of paths for walking and cycling.
