Northridge's redevelopment and enduring Milwaukee convenience
Northridge is a neighborhood that’s best known as the home of the former Northridge Mall. This indoor shopping mall was a busy commercial hub on Milwaukee’s northwest side from the 1970s through the 1980s and spurred the development of many nearby suburban neighborhoods and apartment communities. While most of the mall was demolished to make way for redevelopment in 2025, residents have long enjoyed the many other established and evolving amenities on the border of Mequon and Milwaukee. Brown Deer Road strip malls, regional commuter highways and hundreds of acres of parks and preserves are just down the street from Northridge’s single-family homes and lower cost condos.

Close to commuter highways and Milwaukee’s bus routes
“Interstate 43 is just up the hill to the east, and I-41 is west,” says Dionne M Barnes, a Realtor with Realty Executives. “The way Milwaukee is set up, you can get anywhere in 20 to 25 minutes, including downtown.” Brown Deer Road and 76th Street connect Northridge to these major commuter highways. East Town is about 15 miles away, a drive that can take 25 to 50 minutes depending on traffic. Many residents drive to get around, but you can also catch a couple of Milwaukee County Transit System buses on the neighborhood’s main roads.
Bus stops accommodate public transportation users in Northridge.

Next to hundreds of acres of parks and preserves

In 2026, the extensive Oak Leaf Trail was extended into the park, connecting cyclists to many recreation destinations in Milwaukee County. Nearby, you’ll find the Mequon Nature Preserve. Over 500 acres in size, the preserve has about 6 miles of trails leading to destinations like a 40-foot observation tower. You can scale the tower to soak in views of the distant Milwaukee skyline.
