Prices are high for the city but still lower than the national median
Sprawling ranch-style homes, bi-levels, split-levels and Colonial Revival homes from the 1950s and '60s are common in Root River Estates. Prices range from $270,000 to $460,000, and homes are amongst the biggest and most expensive in the city, with a median price of around $340,000. Klose explains that home prices in Milwaukee increase as you move from east to west, and "The homes west of Highway 100 are the most expensive in West Allis." Even within some neighborhoods, including Root River Estates, property values increase towards the west, and homes nearing the New Berlin border are among the most expensive. Smaller Cape Cod, ranch-style homes and condos are available close to South 108th Street, ranging between $220,000 and $320,000. Homes sell after an average of 19 days, less than half the national average, and prices are up from the previous year.

Theater performances at Nathan Hale

Many West Allis-West Milwaukee School District theater performances occur at Nathan Hale in the neighborhood.

West Allis Athletic Complex and Dog Park
In 2019, the West Allis Dog Park off Hayes Avenue became the city's first and only dog park. The enclosed space is behind Nathan Hale High School and the West Allis Athletic Complex, which shares its campus. Outside school hours, residents can play pick-up softball, soccer or football on the fields or jog around the quarter-mile rubber track. Greenfield Park is the city's largest park and is home to a golf course, a forest with walking trails, a public aquatic park and a fishing pond.

Untouched land around the Root River
Root River goes through the neighborhood and is not only the namesake of the area but the reason it's less developed than the rest of the city. "The western areas of West Allis can't be developed because they're in a flood plain," says Mandi Miller, Realtor with Re/Max Forward. "Otherwise, West Allis is landlocked and almost entirely developed." The river and its connected streams bring greenery and wildlife like deer and wild turkeys to the area but increase the chance of flooding, especially after snow and rainstorms.
