Clayton Crest Home for Sale

Clayton Crest, located in Milwaukee’s Garden District, is a neighborhood known for its lush, well-maintained gardens, thanks to the presence of a major landscape supply store. The area experienced significant development after World War II, resulting in a mix of early-20th-century Tudor Revivals and mid-to-late-20th-century ranch-style homes, split-levels, Colonial Revivals, Cape Cods, and contemporary suburban builds. Sidewalks line most streets, making it relatively walkable. Families benefit from proximity to James Fenimore Cooper School, a K-8 institution with a holistic curriculum, and Ronald Wilson Reagan College Preparatory High School, which offers a highly regarded International Baccalaureate program. There are several parks in Clayton Crest. Cooper Park has tennis courts, a baseball diamond and a soccer field, while Copernicus Park is most known for its serene walking trails and forested areas. South 27th Street is a bustling business corridor with a mix of big-box retailers, grocery stores and locally owned businesses like Benny’s Café and The Edge Sports Bar. Downtown Milwaukee is about a 15-minute drive via Interstate 94, and Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport is just 3 miles away.
