Wyrick Park is surrounded by green spaces and recreation

About 12 miles from downtown Milwaukee, Wyrick Park is named after the green space at the center of the community. Buyers often choose the area for its unique blend of suburban living and natural surroundings, with tree-lined streets and a woodsy atmosphere. The neighborhood is also known for its range of housing styles and easy access to schools, shopping areas and major transit routes.

Common home styles and typical prices across the neighborhood

Condos are a big part of the local real estate market, and generally sell between $60,000 and $75,000. Ranch-style houses are especially common in Wyrick Park, though you'll also find Cape Cods and bungalows throughout the neighborhood. Prices for single-family homes typically range from the mid-$100,000s to the low $200,000s, which is similar to Town & Country Manor and Menomonee River Hills East but generally lower than Brown Deer. Most homes were built in the 1970s, and many have seen updates over the years, including renovated kitchens and bathrooms.

Top-rated public schools serving Wyrick Park

Milwaukee Public Schools uses an open enrollment system, allowing students to apply to schools across the city. Barton Elementary School serves the neighborhood and partners with the Milwaukee Art Museum through its Junior Docent Program.

Where to play soccer and enjoy open green space

Wyrick Park gets its name from the nearly 18-acre park at the heart of the neighborhood. Much of the area is open green space with plenty of room for pickup soccer games, tossing a frisbee or relaxing on a picnic blanket. Walking paths wind through a wooded section, adding another option for getting outside. About a mile away, Uihlein Soccer Park features more than a dozen outdoor fields, a 4,000-seat stadium and three indoor turf fields for year-round play. “We are booked solid during the winter months,” says director of marketing and corporate engagement Chelsea Metzger. “We also host other sports, including lacrosse, ultimate frisbee, football and even dance competitions."
