West View, a southern Milwaukee community off Interstate 41
West View is a Milwaukee neighborhood near the southern suburbs of West Allis, Greenfield and Greendale. Interstate 41 passes by this pocket of midcentury homes, connecting residents to the many shopping centers, parks and trail systems encircling the Brew City. Whether you’re looking for a well-kept rambler or a lower priced condo, West View balances the quiet and convenience of a bedroom community with the more local charms of walkable local businesses and schools.
Single-family homes from the mid-1900s and lower cost condos
West View’s residential blocks were largely built in the mid-20th century. Many of the single-family homes here are the popular styles of that era, including ranch-style houses, bungalows and Cape Cods. Sidewalks connect these blocks of homes to townhouse-style condos in a couple of small communities. Single-family homes sell from the lower $200,000s to the lower $400,000s. Condos sell from the mid-$100,000s to the lower $200,000s. West View has a median single-family home price in the lower $300,000s. That’s on par with nearby Alcott Park and Euclid Park, but lower than Greenfield. It’s higher than Pleasant Valley and Brosen Manor.
