President Heights has a residential half and a commercial half
In President Heights, tree-lined suburban streets on the east juxtapose busy shopping centers and main roads on the west. The two halves, separated by a main interstate, create a residential and commercial balance with short drives to nearby schools, parks, shopping and employers. Because of its prime location, demand is high, and houses sell in less than three weeks from listing with a median price of $280,000. "Many residents have lived in the area their whole lives," says West Allis Mayor Dan Devine. "People even buy the houses they and their parents grew up in."
President Heights is half residential and half commercial.

Homes from the middle of the 20th century on tree-lined streets
Built between the 1950s and 1970s, houses in President Heights have Cape Cod, bungalow and ranch-style designs. Narrow driveways lead to detached garages and small backyards where neighbors gather. "People here have a community mindset," Devine says. "That's how the city keeps its small-town feel." The smaller homes are priced from $180,000 to $300,000, while less common bi-levels and split-levels with attached garages reach up to $360,000. Throughout the neighborhood's residential half, tall trees line the patches of grass dividing roads and sidewalks. In spring and summer, some streets are entirely covered by overhead trees, providing shade for those riding their bikes and walking around.
