Silver Spring is a neighborhood of both convenience and community
With almost 13,000 residents, Silver Spring is among the densest neighborhoods in Milwaukee's Northwest Side. The large community is packed with gridded residential streets, industrial areas and busy commuter thoroughfares. However, walkable schools, a nature preserve and an active neighborhood center balance out the area, making it an attractive spot for those seeking both convenience and community at a relatively affordable price.
Busy commuting streets connect Silver Spring to downtown Milwaukee.

What homes cost in Silver Spring
Cape Cods, small ranch-style homes and the occasional bungalow sell from under $100,000 to the high $200,000s in Silver Spring.. "In Milwaukee, you'll have a lot of areas that have both renters and homeowners," says LeKeisha Roberts, a Realtor with Realty Executives Integrity. "But what I found in Silver Spring is that you do still have a lot of blocks that have plenty of older residents who have owned their homes for years." Locals who rent live in either small apartment complexes or in multifamily homes. The area's duplexes include small Colonial Revivals, raised-ranch-style homes and Victorian-era two-story homes that sell between the low $100,000s and the low $300,000s. Across all styles, prices are well below the Milwaukee Metro median and lower than in nearby Menomonee River Hills East, Menomonee River Hills, Florist Highlands and Graceland.
Cape Cods are a common style in Silver Spring, usually built in the early 1900s.
The Westlawn housing development in Silver Spring focuses on community connections.

Natural spaces and renovated playgrounds near home
Havenwoods State Forest takes up the neighborhood's eastern half and is the place to get outside for jogging and walking. With 237 acres of land and 6 miles of trails, the nature preserve is even visited by some residents every day. "There are some people who travel here from far away, but locals use the space most," says Angela Vickio, the natural resources property supervisor at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. "There are some visitors we get to see daily." When walking along the popular birdwatching trails, look out for blue and green herons, sandhill cranes and eastern bluebirds living in the trees. "It is a very beautiful area, and they offer a lot of programs for residents and school fieldtrips throughout the year," Roberts says. For sports and exercising, head to Carmen Playfield, which underwent a big renovation and grand reopening in 2024. In addition to a new splashpad, playground and basketball courts, the park features courts for Tuj Lub, a traditional Hmong sport popular in the neighborhood.

Public school options in Silver Spring
Milwaukee and Wisconsin offer school choice, and students can apply to attend any public school with open space. A few Milwaukee public schools are in the neighborhood and within walking distance from home:
Richard Kluge Creative Arts School offers a specialized creative arts education.
Browning School is a "Green and Healthy" school, with a commitment to sustainability, health initiatives and environmental education. Their facilities include an outdoor greenhouse with an aquaponics system.
James Madison Academic Campus has two National Academy Foundation (NAF) Academies to prepare pupils for life after graduation, training them in health sciences, hospitality and tourism.

Community support, youth sports and events at the neighborhood center
"There's a Silver Spring Neighborhood Center that offers community support and different programs," Roberts says. "They have indoor sports like basketball and offer culinary classes and things like that." The Silver Springs Neighborhood Center prides itself on serving the community through programs such as childcare, teen development initiatives and youth sports. They also sponsor team sports leagues and train adults for future employment. According to the organization's website, 94% of students have improved their school attendance record, and over 100 residents have gained full-time employment after participating in its job training program.
Silver Spring is well-connected to the rest of Milwaukee
Getting around and to other Milwaukee destinations is easy thanks to three major streets nearby. North 76th Street, Fond du Lac Avenue and Silver Spring Drive are main streets of northeastern Milwaukee that pass through the neighborhood or along its border. Fond du Lac Avenue heads southeast towards Milwaukee's central business district. "A lot of people may work downtown or in the Historic Third Ward area," Roberts says. "And Silver Spring Drive is a main corridor for people traveling east and west." While most people get around by car, bus stops are scattered around the neighborhood.
Restaurants are close, and retail shopping is a short drive away
Silver Spring has a few restaurants and convenience stores, including The Fatty Patty, Sharks Fish & Chicken and Dollar General. For retail shopping, however, residents head to Glendale or the Midtown Center shopping plaza in Capitol Heights. "It's pretty centrally located because you're very close to Glendale and Whitefish Bay," Roberts says. "You're central to the highway and able to get downtown quickly or even up north. So, shopping is within 10 minutes." Sentry Foods is in the neighborhood, and Phongsavan Market Place, an Asian grocery store, is nearby.
Fatty Patty is a popular spot for quick lunches on the go.
