Parkway Heights is right between major South Milwaukee amenities
Parkway Heights’s location in South Milwaukee puts it right between the local high school’s community centers and Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport. The high school campus is just across 115th Avenue from the neighborhood and is home to more than just student resources. The South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center and the South Milwaukee Fitness Center both sit on the campus, open to students and residents alike. “When they built it, they wanted it to be community-based, so they attached it to the old high school and now it’s one big campus,” says Realtor Amanda Guzlecki with Shorewest Realtors, who was born and raised in South Milwaukee. “It’s really nice having the Performing Arts Center for the students because we do get to use it for a bunch of activities, but they also rent it out, so there’s a bunch of different shows throughout the year.” If Parkway Heights residents need more to do, the Oak Creek Parkway goes through the neighborhood, heading towards the city’s beach along Lake Michigan.
