Condos, retro homes and convenience in Milwaukee’s Saint Aemilian's
Between the bustling Capitol Drive and Lisbon Avenue, Saint Aemilian's is a quiet part of Milwaukee's northwest side. Settled blocks of early to mid-1900s single-family homes draw buyers, as do condos in Villa du Cour, a complex built in the mid-1970s. Whether you’re looking for a classic midcentury starter home or shared amenities, Saint Aemilian’s offers relatively affordable options close to parks, public schools, Wauwatosa ’s malls and Mount Mary University. It’s a roughly 9-mile trip into East Town, whether you’re driving or catching the RedLine bus.
Cost of homes, duplexes and condos in northwest Milwaukee
The east side of Saint Aemilian's is a classic northwest Milwaukee neighborhood, where ranch-style homes, Cape Cods, bungalows and a handful of duplexes line the sidewalks. The Villa du Cour condominium community is on the west side of Saint Aemelian’s, offering buyers lower maintenance living in apartment-style units. “You get a lot for your dollar because you have a nice community with good square footage,” says Natasha Duvall, a Realtor at Duvall Group Real Estate. “There's a pool, a community room and a nice group of people.”
Single-family homes sell from the lower $200,000s to the lower $300,000s. Duplexes sell from the upper $100,000s to the lower $300,000s. Condos run from around $70,000 to the mid-$100,000s. Saint Aemelian’s has a median sale price in the mid-$100,000s. That’s lower than nearby Kops Park, Golden Valley, Lindsay Park and Nash Park, thanks to the neighborhood’s lower-priced condos. "That area is one of my favorite spots to sell in currently," says Bret Duer, a Realtor at The Real Estate Edge, LLC. and a Milwaukee resident of over 17 years. "If I were a first-time homebuyer just getting into the market, that's the area I'd be looking at."
