Cambridge Woods Home for Sale

Cambridge Woods is a Milwaukee neighborhood known for its natural scenery and proximity to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Homes in this area include bungalows and workers' cottages from the 1910s. The area has evolved over the years, particularly since the university led to an increase in apartment complexes and rental properties. Single-family homes and multifamily houses make up most streets, and apartment buildings are on North Oakland Avenue. The neighborhood's traits include narrow lots, alleyways leading to detached garages and sidewalks lined with tall trees. Cambridge Woods is within walking distance of the Milwaukee River, where residents often go fishing, canoeing and kayaking. The Milwaukee River Greenway offers a rural feel despite being in a large city. Destinations along the river include the Hubbard Park Beer Garden. North Oakland Avenue has a variety of dining options, including Shahrazad Restaurant and Lisa's Pizza. The neighborhood hosts several community events, including a potluck in June, an ice cream social in August and a chili festival in February. The Milwaukee County Transit System Green Line serves the area, but most residents drive or bike to work and class. The Oak Leaf Trail is a popular and well-maintained bike route. Ascension Columbia St. Mary's Hospital is 2 miles away.
