Downtown perks without the downtown price tag
On Milwaukee’s southside, single-family homes and duplexes from the turn of the 20th century mix with industrial buildings in the historic neighborhood of National Park. Located less than 4 miles from downtown Milwaukee, its roughly 3,000 residents enjoy downtown’s perks without breaking the bank. "I think one of the draws is that you get super easy access to the highway and easy access to downtown, but the price is a little better than living downtown," says Eric Muller, a broker/owner of EXIT Elite Realty who sells throughout the Milwaukee area.

Close to Mitchell Park and Three Bridges Park
Milwaukee’s proud tradition of public parks extends from the mid-1800s to today, and National Park residents get a taste of old and new green spaces. To the east is the historic Mitchell Park, founded in 1860 as Milwaukee’s first horticultural conservatory. Today, it’s home to the iconic Mitchell Park Domes, three towering greenhouses with desert, tropical and floral themes. Visitors can also enjoy various outdoor amenities, from a walk around the pond to a pickup game of basketball or sand volleyball. The much newer Three Bridges Park, opened in 2013, lies just north of the neighborhood. This 24-acre park features 2 miles of biking and walking trails and more than 40 community gardens. “It’s also on the Menomonee River, so that’s another access point for kayaking and fishing,” says Angélica Sánchez, director of the Urban Ecology Center’s Menomonee Valley branch. “Even birding is quite a highlight here in the park with all the different species of birds and animals we see on a daily basis.”
Three Bridges Park is a great place for National Park residents to get some exercise.

Classical Revival and bungalows from the 1920s
Homes along main thoroughfare National Avenue enjoy an especially convenient location to the parks and shopping along South Layton Boulevard, and feature ornate, European-inspired architecture, from Classical Revival homes with pillared facades to Mediterranean and Queen Anne designs. Farther south, there are many bungalows from the early 20th century with large front windows and covered front porches. Houses sit on compact but verdant lots with landscaped front yards. Tall, shady trees dot the sidewalks that line the residential streets, giving this urban enclave a more suburban look. Prices range from $121,000 for a three-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath fixer-upper bungalow to $230,000 for a four-bedroom home featuring recent renovations. While there are many owners in the neighborhood, renters comprise most of its residents, about 66%, and find homes in the classic Milwaukee duplexes and small apartment complexes scattered throughout the community.

Shopping and dining along South Layton Boulevard
Most of National Park is residential, so locals often head a few blocks west to run errands along Miller Park Way, where they pick up groceries at Cermak Fresh Market and essentials at Target. Aldi is also just outside the neighborhood and offers more food options. Within the neighborhood is a small strip of shops and restaurants along South Layton Boulevard, including Family Dollar, Subway, and local favorite Honeydip Donuts, which has been serving the area for nearly 50 years.
