Residential living on Milwaukee’s southwest side
Tucked within the residential grids of Milwaukee’s southwest side, Rolling Green is a small neighborhood just north of Greenfield. Residents are within walking distance of a well-regarded elementary school and surrounded by commercial hubs. “A lot of the decision to move out there comes down to price,” says Lothair Lambrecht, an agent with Realty Executive who has experience in the area. “That part of the city is known for very similar homes, all at affordable price points, especially for first-time buyers.”

Midcentury homes at affordable price points
Homes in the area are a uniform selection of mid-1900 architecture, with ranches, bungalows and a few Cape Cods. Homes with around 1,000 sq. ft. start at $200,000 and get up to $300,000 for 2,000 sq. ft. floor plans. Detached garages sit behind most properties. With the increasing popularity of midcentury modern designs, many homebuyers are attracted to the area's vintage architecture. “Instead of modern renovations, people will restore the interiors because they like the nostalgic feel,” Lambrecht explains. Outside, green lawns are peppered with shade from a few mature trees, and the sidewalks are traversed by kids on their way to school. A few multi-family properties line the outer parts of Rolling Green, including two-story duplexes and condo complexes. These units go for around $150,000.

The Powerline Trail project
The new Powerline Trail lies just a few blocks south of the neighborhood. Opened in 2022, the first leg of this paved, shared-use path currently runs 3 miles east to west through grassy land adjacent to a string of Milwaukee County powerlines. “When you’re out on the trail, you don’t realize that you’re in the middle of a dense, urban area,” says Jeff Katz, a member of the nonprofit behind the Powerline Trail. “The powerlines are there, but when you walk on the trail, you don’t really focus on that. You just focus on the open space.” The trail already connects to the city-wide Oak Leaf Trail and will continue to expand in the coming years.
Rolling Green residents can navigate the area using the Powerline Trail.

Walkable International Baccalaureate elementary
Even if they live in the farthest reaches of the neighborhood, Rolling Green’s youngest residents can generally walk to school at the Academy of Accelerated Learning (AAL) in less than 20 minutes. Welcoming kindergarten through fifth grade, this public school is rated B-minus by Niche and proudly offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme. Families have plenty of opportunities to engage with the school through Parent Teacher Association events, including family dances and an end-of-year carnival. And the AAL sports courts are open for public use after school hours. For their next steps, students are zoned for priority registration with Wedgewood Park School, rated C-minus. The middle school continues an IB education. And though Hamilton High School, rated C, is closer, many parents choose to send their kids to Casimir Pulaski High School to finish out the IB curriculum and earn an IB Diploma.

Interstates with airport access
The neighborhood is adjacent to two different interstates, so travelers can usually get to downtown Milwaukee in less than 20 minutes. When rush hour hits, though, the drive can get up to 40 minutes. Bus lines connect into the city as well but take upwards of an hour. The bus lines tend to be used for shorter trips closer to home, as they run along major roads. And like all southside neighborhoods, the Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport is conveniently close by. Eight miles away, the airport is within reach but far enough away that there is no ambient airplane noise in Rolling Green.

Greenfield’s mall and farmers market
Two local restaurants within walking distance include Antique Indian Restaurant and Tanino’s Italian & American Restaurant, which has been a local staple for over half a century. But for most shopping and dining, residents head a mile into Greenfield’s commercial center. The large Southridge Mall is the biggest draw, as well as a movie theater, Walmart and Sendik’s Food Market. In the warmer months, Konkel Park, 3 miles away, is the site of a weekly farmers market.
Rolling Green residents can head to Southridge Mall for all of their shopping needs.
