Located on Milwaukee's South Side, Southpoint combines a neighborhood feel with everyday convenience. The area is known for its collection of postwar Cape Cods and ranch-style homes, with shopping, dining and other daily errands in the area's west side. Reliable transit, easy access to major roads and well-equipped parks add to the neighborhood’s appeal as a convenient place to live close to the city.
Midcentury Cape Cods and ranch-style homes make up most of the housing in Southpoint, with many still showcasing postwar details like hardwood floors, arched doorways and original woodwork. Over the years, plenty of homes have been updated with modern kitchens and finished basements which often provide extra living space. The median sale price is in the mid-$200,000s, with prices generally ranging from the mid-$100,000s to the lower $300,000s. That puts Southpoint in a similar price range as Southgate and Morgandale. On the other hand, it tends to be less expensive than Wilson Park and Greenfield.
Southpoint is part of Milwaukee Public Schools. Ronald Reagan High School, which has an A-plus rating from Niche, is the only school in Milwaukee where every student takes part in a four-year International Baccalaureate program. Families looking at private school options can also consider Christ-St. Peter Lutheran School, which is located in the neighborhood and serves students from kindergarten through eighth grade.
Southpoint residents don't have to go far for a meal. South 27th Street and the surrounding area offer everything from longtime local favorites to casual spots for a quick bite:
Southpoint has direct access to Interstate 94, which provides a straight route into downtown Milwaukee, less than 10 miles away. South 27th Street and West Loomis Road run through the area, connecting to shopping and services. The Milwaukee County Transit System operates bus routes through the neighborhood, with stops along Howard Avenue and Loomis Road.
Spanning over 70 acres, Wilson Park includes playgrounds, baseball diamonds and walking paths circling a pond. The adjacent Wilson Recreation Center adds a public pool and an indoor NHL-sized ice rink. “Wilson Park is tucked back into the neighborhoods, but it has established amenities like public restrooms,” says Drew Zirzow, a local manager with Milwaukee County Parks, who adds, “The swimming pool is popular in the summer, there's a great sledding hill in the winter, and the ice rink is home to a cooperative hockey team from 24 different public schools — those games get a good turnout.” For golfers, Zablocki Park offers a nine-hole, par-3 course established in 1968 with synthetic tee boxes and greens.
