How home prices compare with nearby Milwaukee suburbs
Neighborhoods across West Allis offer diverse housing. Historic homes line the streets in the City Center neighborhood, with bungalows and updated workers’ cottages that go back as far as the late 1800s. The Root River Estates community is better known for its midcentury Colonial Revivals, split-levels and ranch-style homes. Meanwhile, contemporary duplexes and condos are popular in areas like Biwers Woods and Greenfield Park.
Single-family homes make up the core of what's available, with a median sale price in the mid-$300,000s. This generally makes housing costs in West Allis on par with Greenfield and more expensive than Milwaukee, but largely less than most of its neighbors, including Wauwatosa, New Berlin, Brookfield and Elm Grove.
The city has streets of updated, classic homes.
Large ranch-styles homes are popular in Honey Acres.

Where to eat and shop, from local staples to new spots
West Allis has a growing dining scene with a mix of longstanding establishments and newer restaurants. “When I first became mayor, there were only about four non-chain restaurants in the area,” says Mayor Dan Devine. “Now, there are so many that I can't even get to them as often as I'd like. There are just too many options.” Some popular spots include:
Kegel's Inn, a German restaurant and beer hall open since 1924
Double B's BBQ, a family-run barbecue joint known for slow-smoked brisket and ribs
Archie's Flat Top, a retro-style diner featuring smashburgers, fries and an attached ice cream counter
West Allis Cheese & Sausage Shoppe, a 1960s-era shop with a deli cafe
Sze Chuan Restaurant, which offers bold Sichuan dishes
The city has a range of shopping options from national retailers to specialty stores. “I always ask myself, 'What came first, the chicken or the egg?'” says Mayor Devine. “Was it the people that made the businesses want to move here because there were so many new shoppers, or... there were so many shoppers in the neighborhood that businesses thought this would be a good place to set up shop?” Options here run the gamut, with places like:
West Allis Towne Centre, a shopping center with national retailers including Hobby Lobby and Burlington
Pan-Asia Supermarket, a grocery store with over 10,000 Asian items plus a sushi bar and boba tea cafe
Freese's Candy Shoppe, a family-owned store crafting hand-dipped chocolates since 1928
All Goods, a boutique offering curated vintage clothing, streetwear and accessories
Two county parks offer trails, sports and water access
West Allis has two Milwaukee County parks, along with smaller neighborhood hubs. McCarty Park includes baseball and softball diamonds, tennis and basketball courts, a fishing lagoon, walking trails, a playground and picnic areas. Over 280 acres in size, Greenfield Park features an 18-hole golf course, Cool Waters Family Aquatic Park, a lagoon, woodlands and ponds popular with anglers and bird watchers. Paved trails run through the park and connect to the Oak Leaf Trail, a 135-mile multiuse trail extending throughout Milwaukee County.
Fishing is popular in McCarty Park
