Ranch-style residential homes at Mitchell West
Close to 4,000 Milwaukeeans live in Mitchell West, in homes built mainly in the mid-20th century. Ranch-style homes are the most common architectural style, featuring various brick colors, patterns and finishes. Homebuyers will also find vinyl-sided split-level houses and a Cape Cod cottage here and there. Even a few small bungalows from the early 1900s (before the area’s post-World War II housing boom) can be found around the neighborhood. Condominium complexes also emerged in the southern section of the neighborhood in more recent decades. These tend to cost between $70,000 and $160,000, while detached homes cost up to the mid-$300,000s.

Local sports leagues at Mitchell West
Coach’s also hosts several adult sports leagues, including volleyball, with participants competing on the restaurant’s sand court. Not-quite-bar-aged sluggers can enroll in Wilson Premier Youth Baseball just a block or two south. Locals can also paint some Bob Ross-style “happy trees” at Farmhouse Paint Bar & Hall for instructor-guided classes that’ll send them home with a colorful canvas.

High-performance public and private schools in Mitchell West
Two private schools operate in Mitchell West, including the well-reputed Salam School, with a B-plus from Niche. This Islamic institution welcomes kindergarten through 12th grade students across its two campuses in the neighborhood and recently received a coveted five-star review from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. St. Anthony School has served Milwaukee students for over 150 years and has a C-minus from Niche. It offers a Catholic education for sixth through eighth graders at its middle and high school campuses. Meanwhile, several Milwaukee Public Schools are conveniently close to the neighborhood, including Ronald Wilson Reagan College Preparatory High School.

Mitchell West comprises the “Gateway to Milwaukee” business district, filled to the brim with restaurants and more than triple Wisconsin’s typical concentration of bars. (After all, this is the Beer Capital of the World, so visitors arriving at the airport get a taste of Milwaukee pride right out the gate.) Perhaps the neighborhood’s most popular watering hole is Coach’s Pub ‘N’ Grill, where patrons can enjoy a lineup of local and craft beers while watching the Packers, Brewers or Bucks play on the big screen. Home chefs can restock their fridges at Festival Foods, about a mile west on Layton Avenue.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
