A quiet community despite the nearby Timmerman Airport
Vogel Park is a suburb on Milwaukee's northwest side, about 9 miles from downtown and 5 miles from all the shopping and fun in Wauwatosa. It shares a border with a private airport and is bisected by a main road but is still described as quiet. "I've been there about 15 years," says Anthony Rupert, the owner of Northgate Taste, an online cheesecake bakery. "There is only one real, main airport in Milwaukee, General Mitchell Field, and it's about a half-hour ride from where I am. If I lived over there, there'd be much more noise." Residents are a quick walk or drive from public schools, grocery stores, restaurants and public parks. Meanwhile, bus stops surround the neighborhood and dot its center along Appleton Avenue. "It's a nice environment to raise a family in — a very safe and quiet area," says Realtor Leah Hunt, a Milwaukee expert with Brew City Realtors. "It seems like the neighbors are friendly as well."

The neighborhood features ranch-style homes
Many residents live in apartments, but the neighborhood also has single- and multi-family homes. Most are ranch-style houses from the 1950s to the '70s — some smaller builds with linear floor plans and detached garages out back, others with higher square footage and attached garages. Homes are situated relatively close together, but backyards are spacious enough for a trampoline and a barbecue with friends. Front yards are modestly sized with tidy landscaping, and sidewalks create a neighborly path between homes. Prices range from $180,000 to $240,000, depending on the extent of renovations.
You can find ranch style homes throughout the neighborhood.
