Eken Park Home for Sale

Eken Park, three miles northeast of downtown Madison, is a revitalizing community with easy transportation, shopping and park access. Bungalow and ranch-style homes built from the 1920s to the 1950s are most common along the neighborhood's streets and are, on average, less expensive than Madison's median sale price. The former Oscar Mayer plant is undergoing redevelopment, promising the addition of new green spaces, housing and businesses to the neighborhood. Creatives can work on custom projects at The Bodgery makerspace. Eken Park itself hosts an annual festival inspired by the Ringling Brothers Circus. Demetral Park includes spaces for baseball, volleybal and canine play. The East Madison Little League plays at four baseball diamonds in the neighborhood. The Starkweather Creek Path is a local favorite for cyclists and joggers. A public golf course sits along Eken Park's northern edge. Other things to do include grabbing a drink at the Tip Top Tavern, taking part in neighborhood socials at Dexter's Pub, breakfasting at Ogden's North Street Diner and shopping for groceries at Pick 'n Save and the Madison Oriental Market. Public elementary and high schools are a few blocks south of Eken Park. Dane County Regional Airport is two miles away, Downtown Madison three miles to the southwest and major hospitals are reachable in around five miles.
