Valhalla is a small neighborhood in northwestern Milwaukee where busy commuter roads border quieter residential streets with rentals and single-family homes. Shops, restaurants, parks and schools are a drive or bus ride away from the neighborhood, but main thoroughfares make it easy to get around. And what Valhalla lacks in amenities or entertainment, it makes up for in diverse housing at relatively affordable prices.
Valhalla has many renters living in apartment complexes or multifamily homes along the area's main roads. Single-family homes from the 1950s and '60s, however, have more established residents. "That is a heavy owner-occupied area with longtime homeowners," says LeKeisha Roberts, a Realtor with Realty Executives Integrity, who lives nearby. "You do have some duplexes there, but they're not as concentrated as in Graceland." Prices in the area reflect the type of housing:
Silver Spring Drive, West Appleton Avenue and Wisconsin Highway 145 border the neighborhood and keep it well connected to the rest of Milwaukee. "Highway driving through Milwaukee can basically get you anywhere, so that's very convenient for commuting," Roberts says. Fond du Lac Avenue, which merges with Wisconsin Highway 145, is an especially active corridor that runs through the city, heading almost all the way southeast to Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward and East Town business districts. The roads around the neighborhood's edges bring in some noise, and Timmerman Airport, used for flight training and charter services, adds more sound to the west side of Valhalla. While buses stop along Silver Spring Drive, North 91st Street and Villard Avenue, most residents get around by car.
Valhalla has a lot of students in the neighborhood, with more than one-third of its residents under 18. Milwaukee Public Schools offers school choice, and students can attend any public school in the district with open space. Using the district's school finder tool, parents can choose the right place for their children, based on location, provided transportation, curriculum or special programs. Wisconsin has statewide open enrollment, so students can also choose from schools in nearby districts, like Menomonee Falls and Wauwatosa.
Valhalla Memorial Park is a cemetery that takes up a large part of the neighborhood and is open to the public for visits and walks. When looking to play or get more active, locals head outside of Valhalla to a few nearby community parks and centers:
The area only has a few stores and restaurants within walking distance, including a thrift store, a pizza and fried chicken shop and El Greco, a Greek American restaurant. To get to the commercial strips and plazas along Appleton Avenue and Fond du Lac, you'll have to either drive or take the bus.
