Burnham Park Homes for Sale

Burnham Park is a historic neighborhood on Milwaukee, Wisconsin's southwest side. Its defining landmark is Frank Lloyd Wright's Burnham Block, a collection of early 1900s homes designed by the famous Arts and Crafts architect. Residents can explore the preserved Burnham homes through tours during special events like Doors Open Milwaukee. The area is made up of closely packed blocks of single-family homes and duplexes, especially bungalows. Multifamily properties contribute to a higher rental rate among residents. Burnham Park is laid out in a walkable way, with residents living close to amenities such as Burnham Playfield. That green space has baseball diamonds, a synthetic turf soccer field, basketball courts, a playground and a splash pad. Larger parks like Mitchell Park and Jackson Park are about five minutes away. The neighborhood is served by Milwaukee Public Schools, where students can apply to specialty options like the nearby Greenfield Bilingual School. Places to shop and dine are scattered around the neighborhood, with local favorites including El Rey Supermercado and The Jackson Grill. Big-box stores are nearby in West Milwaukee. Commuters benefit from easy access to Interstate 94, bike lanes, sidewalks and bus routes. East Town is less than 5 miles from home.
