Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Alcott Park, Milwaukee

Alcott Park sits on Milwaukee, Wisconsin's, far south side between West Allis and Greenfield. Its long residential blocks stretching between Morgan and Howard avenues. The neighborhood is made up mostly of midcentury ranch-style homes, but they're mixed with bungalows, Cape Cods and a small number of newer Colonial Revival houses. Alcott Park itself is a roughly 16-acre green space with a looping walking path, tennis courts, a playground and a summer splash pad. It becomes a busy hub on the Fourth of July with a parade, free food giveaways, games and fireworks. For things to do beyond the park, residents head just south to the Powerline Trail, which links into the larger Oak Leaf Trail system. Daily errands and dining usually mean driving about 10 minutes to nearby commercial centers such as Southridge Mall, West Allis Center and 84 South. Alcott Park is served by Milwaukee Public Schools, with Alcott Elementary School located next to the park and within walking distance for local students. Interstates 41 and 43 meet just south of the neighborhood, putting commuter destinations across the Milwaukee area within reach. Limited bus service on the community's outskirts means most residents rely on cars for getting around.
