Morgandale blossoms in Milwaukee's Garden District
Located on Milwaukee's south side, Morgandale is also at the center of the city's designated "Garden District." You’ll notice a love of landscaping all over the neighborhood, from thoughtful planting around historic bungalows to the natural beauty of nearby Wilson Park. Combined with a walkable community of restaurants serving international cuisines, Garden District Neighborhood Association events and easy access to Milwaukee's interstates, Morgandale is a place where commuter convenience and close-knit community can both bloom.
Historic bungalows and duplexes on the city's south side
Morgandale’s dense residential blocks are lined by single-family homes built from the early to mid-1900s. Buyers can find bungalows in simple National styles or more ornate Craftsman designs, as well as Tudor Revival cottages and Cape Cods. There are small multifamily properties throughout the neighborhood, many of which are bungalows that have been divided into duplexes. Single-family homes sell from the upper $100,000s to the upper $300,000s, and duplexes go from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$400,000s. Morgandale has a median sale price in the mid-$200,000s, which is on par with Southpoint, Southgate and Saveland Park. It’s higher than Polonia, but lower than Wilson Park.

Close to Milwaukee's parks and a community garden
A couple of small community parks, Holt Playfield and Ohio Playfield, sprinkle Morgandale with playgrounds, sports courts, athletic fields and a seasonal wading pool. A large Milwaukee County park is just south of the neighborhood: Wilson Park. Across its nearly 80 acres, you can find walking paths around a fishing pond, several baseball diamonds, picnic areas and the adjacent Wilson Park Recreation Center. The rec center has an indoor ice arena for hockey games and a seasonal outdoor pool. The Garden District Community Garden is also near Wilson Park, a scenic place to stop and smell the flowers or rent a garden bed of your own.
