Apartments and single-family homes mix across the neighborhood
While many residents live in apartments, others occupy single-family dwellings, mainly modest ranch-style houses from the mid-to-late 20th century. Cape Cods and a handful of bungalows from the early 1900s also appear around the neighborhood. Home values average around $165,000, though a ranch-style home over 1,700 feet with a basement and an attached garage might reach the mid-$200,000s. On the lower end, a sub-1,000-square-foot Cape Cod needing updates could cost under $140,000.

Job opportunities and diverse cuisine options close to home
Goodwill Workforce Connection Center operates directly north across the train tracks, offering workforce readiness training for job-searching Milwaukeeans. To support these efforts, residents can visit the campus’s store, which realtor Woody Jarvis says hardly feels like your typical Goodwill. “It’s like a department store, and they treat their customers like it, too,” says Jarvis, owner of Jarvis Realty Inc. “Some folks can spend hours going aisle to aisle and looking at a lot of stuff — they’ve got a lot of variety. When I go in there, I’m always looking for old records.” If you like to cap off a shopping trip with a good meal, Silver Swan features several locally owned eateries. Los Tres Amigos offers classic Mexican fare from tacos to chimichangas, plus American favorites like cheeseburgers and Philly cheesesteaks. A few blocks east, Gianelli’s Pizza & Chicken Man has dished out everything from pepperoni-peppered pies to buckets of chicken since 1983.
This locally owned business has impeccable service and delicious food.
