Pheasant Run’s settled, suburban calm in northwest Milwaukee

Tree-shaded streets of ramblers curve throughout Pheasant Run, a quiet, residential part of northwestern Milwaukee. People live here to get some distance from the bustle of the Brew City, looking for close-to-home comforts like less through traffic and a walkable elementary school. Milwaukee County parks surround the community, placing a playground, a golf course and miles of trails just down the road. You’re within five minutes of big-box stores, mom and pop restaurants and Interstate 41, making it easy to run errands or start toward downtown's major employers and cultural centers.

Ranch-style houses for competitive northwest Milwaukee prices

Winding streets and cul-de-sacs fill Pheasant Run, lined by different kinds of single-family homes. Ranch-style homes are by far the most common in the neighborhood, but buyers will also find a handful of smaller Minimal Traditional houses, Colonial Revivals and Cape Cods. Some houses have attached garages, while others are built next to driveways leading to detached garages. Extensive sidewalks and plenty of shady, mature trees invite residents to take strolls around Pheasant Run.

Prices usually range from the upper $100,000s to the mid-$300,000s. Pheasant Run’s median single-family home price is in the upper $200,000s. That’s lower than neighboring Granville Station, Calumet Farms and Riverton Heights.

Walking distance from a Milwaukee Public elementary school

Pheasant Run is part of Milwaukee Public Schools. It operates a city-wide school choice program, allowing families to apply to any neighborhood, specialty or charter school in the district. Lowell P. Goodrich School is in the middle of the community, an assigned neighborhood elementary school that’s walkable for many families. You have even more flexibility to attend out-of-district, private and charter schools through Wisconsin's statewide choice programs.

A playground, golf courses and miles of trails around Pheasant Run

The neighborhood is surrounded by Milwaukee County’s parks, trails and specialty recreation centers. Just outside of Pheasant Run, you’ll find:

  • Popuch Park, a classic community park with a playground, a basketball court and walking paths
  • Dretzka Park, a massive green space with an 18-hole golf course and a 27-hole disc golf course
  • The Oak Leaf Trail, a more than 120-mile walking and biking trail that connects parks throughout Milwaukee

Minutes from Milwaukee County commuter highways and bus stops

“It’s easy to get downtown. You’re like five minutes from the freeway,” says Realtor Sandy Ertel, who sells houses with RE/MAX Lakeside. You might head to Interstate 41 or start down the Fond du Lac Freeway to reach the East Town central business district. That’s usually a 25 to 45 minute drive, depending on traffic. Although most residents rely on cars, you can also catch Milwaukee County Transit System buses at stops on 107th Street.

A short drive from big-box businesses and small mom and pops

  • Thai Bangkok, a casual spot to order Thai specialties and pho
  • Aldi, a favorite for house and name-brand pantry staples
  • Woodman's Markets, a large employee-owned grocery store for bulk shopping
