Suburban living outside of Bay View
Tippecanoe is a primarily residential neighborhood on the south side of Milwaukee, just west of the city of St. Francis. "Tippecanoe is very popular because it borders the hip and trendy Bay View area," says Daniel Balderas, the owner/Broker of Modern MilwauKEY Real Estate. "But it still has that small neighborhood feel." Tippecanoe offers midcentury homes at a more affordable price point than Bay View, with proximity to major city corridors, the international airport and the Lake Michigan coast.

Homes from the 1900s
Minimal traditional and ranch-style homes from the 1940s line the gridded residential streets. Homes with around 1,000 sq. ft. start for just under $200,000. Newly renovated properties with larger floor plans get up to $300,000. And there are a handful of renovated early-1900s bungalows at prices around $400,000, but they tend to fly off the market within a few days. Homes have the classic Milwaukee detached garage and enjoy front lawns just big enough for a garden. Wide sidewalks are shaded by mature trees, and well-marked crosswalks shepherd kids on their way to school.

Local library and community gardens
The Tippecanoe Library is a neighborhood staple of the community, with various events and an outdoor children's storytelling area modeled after the book "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. "We're in the Garden District, so folks are into green programming with an environmental focus," says librarian Dan Roubik. That passion can be seen at the library's Climate Action Book Club and at the Garden District Community Garden, known for its plant sales and Christmas lights display.

Neighborly nightlife scene
Tippecanoe is bordered by roads with small restaurants and bars. Copper Kitchen is a quintessentially American diner for breakfast. The locally-owned Gold Rush Chicken has served the community since 1957 and is often cited as the best spot for fried chicken in the Bay View area. For a night out, residents can walk to Gingerz, an Irish pub with outdoor games, or Scotty's, known for their Friday fish fry. There's a whole selection of local places, many open until the wee hours of the morning, with traditions like trivia nights and bartenders who recognize neighborhood faces. And when it's time for errands, Pick' n Save, Piggle Wiggly and Target are a mile north.

Trips to downtown and Milwaukee Mitchell
Residents can take Interstate 94 or 794 into downtown Milwaukee, 6 miles away. There usually isn't much traffic, and the trip ranges from 10 to 20 minutes. Bus lines also run into the city, about a 30-minute journey. The neighborhood is also close to Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport, 2 miles away. Locals enjoy a convenient bus to the airport that takes about 10 minutes along Howell Avenue. But the proximity to the airport sometimes means ambient plane noise overhead, though most homes are far enough away not to be bothered.
