Set 13 miles northwest of downtown Milwaukee, Wyrick Park is a small community of houses and condos that share a stretch of trees and lush foliage. As a result, the otherwise typically suburban neighborhood has a natural landscape, giving its homes a more woodsy feel. Residents are attracted to the area for this rustic atmosphere, along with its easy access to nearby schools and below-average real estate prices.
Lined with oak and maple trees, the neighborhood's streets are shaded during the warmer months. Homes generally come with single-car driveways and garages. Midcentury-style houses are on quarter-acre lawns, often decorated with split-rail fencing and carefully manicured shrubbery. Multi-family units make up most of the local housing, with single-bedroom condos ranging from the mid-$60,000s to the low $200,000s. Single-family homes make up less than 4 percent of the housing options and tend to be midcentury designs built in the 1960s and '70s. Ranch and split-level models typically start in the mid-$100,000s and peak in the mid-$200,000s, depending on square footage and proximity to schools. The average home price in the area is $150,000, which is below the citywide average of $290,000.
Two schools affiliated with Milwaukee Public Schools operate in Wyrick Park: Clara Barton Elementary School and GreenTree Preparatory Academy. Barton has a C-minus Niche rating and teaches kindergarten through fifth grade. The state education department has named it a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports School of Distinction. GreenTree Prep, currently unranked by Niche, was established in 2019 and welcomes students in grades six through 12 to engage in a a STEM and leadership-focused curriculum.
Wyrick Park gets its name from the nearly 18-acre green space in the southern part of the neighborhood. Most of the park is an open, grassy expanse with more than enough room to play pickup soccer, toss the frisbee or stretch out on a picnic blanket. Visitors can use the small playground or explore the short, heavily wooded walking trail. Uihlein Soccer Park, a mile west of the neighborhood, offers adult and youth leagues for players as young as 3. Thanks to its three indoor turf fields, matches happen even when it’s cold out. “We are booked solid during the winter months,” says Chelsea Metzger, director of marketing and corporate engagement at Uihlein Soccer Park, adding that the facility also has lacrosse, ultimate frisbee and dance competitions. The Wisconsin Country Club and The University Club of Milwaukee are northwest and northeast of the neighborhood, respectively. Both have 18-hole championship golf courses and require memberships to play.
Café Corazon is a Mexican restaurant in the Brown Deer neighborhood that specializes in locally sourced ingredients from family farms. Wok 2 Go serves classic Chinese dishes in a laid-back atmosphere, with specialties like shrimp egg foo young bringing in repeat customers regularly. The Brown Deer Center has various shopping options and familiar chain restaurants and a Pick 'n Save is a mile-and-a-half west of the neighborhood.
Interstate 43 provides a direct line into downtown Milwaukee, about 13 miles southeast. The Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport is just over 20 miles south. The St. Joseph campus of Ascension Southeast Wisconsin Hospital is 5 miles south, while the Aurora Urgent Care is just over 2 miles east. Public transportation is available through the Milwaukee County Transit System, which has stops on North 60th and North 43rd streets.
The Elks Lodge on Good Hope Road is a popular site for regular events, including craft fairs, sports competitions and an annual chili cook-off. The Green Tree Community Garden in neighboring Menomonee River Hills East hosts the Rhythm and Bloom Concert Series, which features free performances and food trucks every summer.
Wyrick Park's CAP Index Crime Score is 5 out of 10 overall, with 4 being the national average. However, violent crime scores are an 8. The Fourth District Police Department has a station just over 2 miles southwest in the Silver Spring neighborhood.
