Bay Creek Homes for Sale

About 10 miles south of downtown Madison, Bay Creek overlooks Monona Bay and Lake Monona. The sought-after, up-and-coming neighborhood is situated on what many refer to as the city's "near-Southside," an area that's undergoing significant revitalization. Most homes were built between 1890 and 1950, with a few from the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The community's median price is slightly lower than the rest of the city. Students can attend highly rated schools within the Madison Metropolitan School District, including the local Franklin Elementary School, as well as nearby private options like the top-rated Wingra School. The neighborhood's Goodman Park spans nearly 30 acres and features a pool, playground, picnic shelter and softball field. The Wingra Creek Path can be accessed from the park's south end. Quann Park is within walking or biking distance and has an off-leash dog park and tennis courts. The nearby Alliant Energy Center hosts Brat Fest, the world's largest brat festival, as well as comedy shows, livestock events and concerts. The Madison Labor Temple hosts the South Madison Farmers' Market. Park Street is lined with diverse eateries, from barbecue to Mexican spots. Bus stops line West Olin Avenue and South Park Street, two main thoroughfares in the neighborhood. SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital-Madison and the Dane County Regional Airport are also close.
