Murray Hill gives historic charm to Milwaukee’s modern east side
Murray Hill, a neighborhood on Milwaukee ’s east side, is a neighborhood made up of century-old buildings and contemporary comforts. People here like to mix the old and the new, from houses and condos that have modern updates and century-old ornamentation to a historic movie theater that screens blockbusters and indie flicks. Professionals and students at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee can walk, bus and bike to corporate and college campuses or to Downer Avenue restaurants, neighborhood summer concerts or beaches along Lake Michigan.

History in Murray Hill’s homes, apartments and condos
The majority of residents rent rather than own homes in Murray Hill, thanks in part to its large student population. Much of its rental appeal lies in the neighborhood’s ornate architecture. Houses here were built primarily in the early 1900s, and some of the grandest Victorian, Craftsman, Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival homes line Newberry Boulevard. Buyers can find properties rich with details like stained glass windows, coved ceilings and original hardwood floors. Other blocks are home to smaller bungalows and multifamily properties built around the same time. “There are some exceptional houses in Murray Hill with character, charm and artistic aspects that you can't find in new homes,” says Judy Hearst, a broker associate at Coldwell Banker with over 38 years of real estate experience. Condos come on the market most often, scattered around the neighborhood in boxy midrise buildings.
The neighborhood’s smaller single-family homes sell from the upper $200,000s to the upper $300,000s. Larger houses range from the mid-$600,000s to around $1 million. Duplexes and triplexes sell from the lower $400,000s to the lower $600,000s. Murray Hill has a median sale price in the mid-$200,000s. That’s lower than nearby Northpoint, the Upper East Side and the Lower East Side. It’s on par with Riverside Park.

Between two of Milwaukee’s major waterfronts and parks
Major east side destination parks are on either side of Murray Hill. “Lake Park is a real jewel,” says James Christenson, an agent with First Weber Realtors, “I've lived here 45 years, and sometimes I still find myself walking through parts I didn't know existed.” Sprawling along a bluff on Lake Michigan’s shoreline, the park is packed with amenities like an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, picnic grounds and the landmark North Point Lighthouse Museum. You can sunbathe or swim at sandy Bradford Beach, just down the shore. On Murray Hill’s other side, Riverside Park is a woodsy place to hike trails along the Milwaukee River or visit the environmental exhibits at the Urban Ecology Center. Both of these Milwaukee County parks are connected by the Oak Leaf Trail, a walking and biking path system that’s more than 130 miles long.
