A Milwaukee suburb with parks, community support and direct access to downtown
With Appleton Avenue running along the western flank of the neighborhood and Fond du Lac Freeway along the eastern side, Valhalla offers immediate access to direct routes that take commuters 9 miles to downtown Milwaukee. The neighborhood homes offer a suburban alternative for those looking for rental properties or a suburban alternative to city life. “The main reason people are moving there is because of the remodeled homes that are outside of the city,” says Realtor Richard Barnes, who sells houses in the neighborhood with Realty Experts. Further, nearby parks provide opportunities to get outdoors or get involved in rec sports, and community organizations work to improve education and provide access to programs for residents.
Mid-century ranch styles and duplexes
Home to nearly 4,400 residents, Vahalla has a mix of apartments, single-family and multi-family houses, with renters making up almost 70% of the community. Most of the housing is clustered on either side of Valhalla Memorial Park cemetery. Sidewalks and old-growth trees line residential streets, and most houses are 15 to 30 feet from the road with fenced backyards and detached garages. Ranch-style homes from the 1950s to the ‘70s with simple, linear floor plans are prominent, along with others with more modern, L-shaped layouts. These houses sell from $125,000 to $220,000. Bungalows from the 1950s and ‘60s and Bi-level duplexes from the 1950s fall within a similar price range. There is plenty of opportunity to build equity in Valhalla. Many buyers are looking at homes here as investments. “We buy them off-market, flip them and resell them,” Barnes says.
