1920s homes, duplexes and classic Milwaukee architecture
Saint Joseph features classic Milwaukee architecture, with bungalows and Cape Cod-style homes making up much of the single-family housing. Brick exteriors, hardwood floors and built-in details are common throughout. Two-family duplexes are also a prominent part of the mix. Most homes date to the 1920s and often include original natural woodwork and stained-glass accents. The median sale price is around the high $100,000s, with prices generally ranging from about $100,000 to the upper $200,000s. This generally makes the neighborhood less expensive than Sunset Heights and Lenox Heights, but more than Sherman Park. A number of listings sell as-is or through tax foreclosure for buyers willing to renovate. "Because it's anchored by St. Joe's Hospital, the neighborhood attracts, in a non-negative way, a lot of landlords and renters," says Benjamin Mullikin, a Realtor with M3 Realty with over 20 years of experience in the city. "People will buy the properties and rent them to students, doctors and nurses, kind of as a crash pad so they can get to work early."
There are a variety of home styles in St Joseph's.
Cape Cods are a common sight here.

Sherman Park has a playground, tennis courts and fields for baseball and basketball. The Mary Ryan Boys & Girls Club operates next to a seasonal splash pad at the park’s center. A few miles away, the historic Washington Park spans roughly 130 acres. Designed in the 1890s by Frederick Law Olmsted, the grounds include a branch of the Urban Ecology Center and a 7-acre lagoon. The park's most recognizable landmark is its bandshell, officially known as the Emil Blatz Temple of Music, which has hosted community concerts since 1938. "The bandshell in Washington Park is the only bandshell like it other than the Hollywood Bowl in terms of size and scale, and the sound quality is amazing," says Washington Park Neighbors Managing Director Melissa Muller, who organizes the Washington Park Wednesdays concert series. "It has seating for about 40,000 people."
Washington Park Wednesdays is a popular event in the warmer months.
The Washington Park bandstand has hosted many acts over the years.
