Alcott Park Home for Sale

Alcott Park is a suburban neighborhood with a slow-paced life on the border of Milwaukee and Greenfield. The area’s namesake is a 17-acre park featuring amenities such as tennis courts, a playground, a splash pad and a walking path. The park is a hub for community activities, especially Independence Day fireworks. The new Powerline Trail, just south of the park, connects runners and bikers with the county-wide Oak Leaf Trail system. The neighborhood’s homes include midcentury modern ranch styles, Tudor-inspired cottages and larger split-level houses. Most properties come with detached garages and well-maintained lawns with decorative trees. Access to Interstate 41 creates a 10-mile commute to downtown Milwaukee. While it often takes 20 minutes, rush hour can extend travel time. Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport is also 10 miles east, but homes are still far enough away that they don’t hear the planes. While bus lines are available for short trips, most residents rely on cars for longer distances. Shops and restaurants along Highway 100 include a Target and the Southridge Mall, about 2 miles away. Patterson’s Orchard, three miles away, offers seasonal activities like apple picking and pumpkin patches. Residents enjoy a suburban lifestyle with easy access to city amenities.
