Ranch-style homes with preserved midcentury character

The occasional colonial style appears in Rolling Green for those who prefer a two-story layout, but ranch-style homes define the area. Three-bedroom, one- to two-bath layouts are common, along with finished basements, detached garages and fenced backyards. Most homes date to the late 1950s, and that midcentury character shows in the details, including original hardwood floors, brick exteriors and practical floor plans. “Instead of modern renovations, people will restore the interiors because they like the nostalgic feel,” says Lothair Lambrecht, an agent with Realty Executive who has experience in the area. Single-family homes range from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$300,000s. The area’s median sale price is in the low $300,000s, making it comparable to Wedgewood, River Bend and Highwood Estates, but somewhat more expensive than Morgan Heights.

What outdoor spaces like Powerline Trail and parks offer

The Powerline Trail is a paved shared-use path that opened its first leg in 2022. Currently stretching about 4 miles, it runs through a grassy utility corridor. “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 Greenfield City Engineer. “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.” A short drive away, Jackson Park spans over 100 acres and features a central lagoon, woodland paths, sports courts and a swimming pool. Both the Powerline Trail and Jackson Park connect to the Oak Leaf Trail, a major system covering more than 135 miles throughout Milwaukee County.

Rolling Green residents can navigate the area using the Powerline Trail.
