Servite Woods offers lower-cost condos in Milwaukee’s Granville area

Servite Woods is in a part of northwest Milwaukee once called Granville that’s known for its relative affordability and modern revitalization initiatives. Its condo and apartment complexes were developed to capitalize on the nearby Northridge Mall, which has since been demolished and slated for redevelopment. While the area is in flux, Servite Woods itself has kept many of its conveniences constant: private community pools and outdoor amenities, an active business and community development organization, convenient shopping off Brown Deer Road and proximity to Milwaukee’s public schools and preserves. With its lower price point and transit access, Servite Woods is a convenient, tucked-away option for those seeking condo living away from the noise of East Town.

Competitively priced condos in northwest Milwaukee

Almost all of Servite Woods is made up of condo and apartment developments built in the 1970s. Buyers can look for flat-style units in mid-rise buildings or multi-level townhouse-style units with private entrances and attached garages. Many complexes share amenities like outdoor pools, clubhouses and walking trails. You might have private unit perks like in-unit laundry, patios or balconies, even at lower price points. "It's very quiet, and the grounds are well kept," says Servite Woods Homes Association President Roger Neal. "I would call it a hidden gem." Prices range from around $60,000s to the mid-$100,000s. Servite Woods has a median sale price of about $100,000. That’s lower than nearby Brown Deer, Northridge and Northridge Lakes. It’s on par with Granville Station.

Leaving Servite Woods to reach the greater Milwaukee area

Brown Deer Road and 76th Street can take commuters to the Granville area’s industrial and commercial employers. Milwaukee County Transit System buses also make stops along these major roadways. Servite Woods is about 15 miles from Milwaukee’s East Town business district. That drive takes 20 minutes without traffic, but can stretch to 45 minutes during peak hours.

Brown Deer Road businesses near the former Northridge Mall

The Northridge Mall was once across Brown Deer Road from Servite Woods, but was demolished in 2025. While redevelopment plans for this site, now called Granville Station, remain up in the air, strip malls just down the street are still home to specialty businesses and chain options. You’re within about a mile of:

  • Mr. B’s Privileged Lounge, a bar and grill where you can also enjoy live music
  • Denny’s, a well-known chain for classic diner fare
  • Walmart Supercenter, a big-box option for groceries, electronics and home goods
  • J & S African Center, a specialty grocery store selling African pantry staples, cosmetics and clothing
  • Menards, a large home improvement store on the site of the former Northridge Mall

Private parks and Milwaukee County preserves

Residents often spend time in the pools, playgrounds, sports courts and common spaces maintained by their private communities. Servite Park Preserve is a public, roughly 20-acre space that has short, woodsy trails to explore. The much larger Mequon Nature Preserve is a short drive away. Spanning hundreds of acres of prairies, wetlands and forests, it has about six miles of trails for hiking and wildlife observation.
