Polonia Homes for Sale

Polonia, located about 3 miles south of downtown Milwaukee, is a historically rich and diverse neighborhood. Originally home to Polish immigrants in the 1800s and 1900s, Polonia now boasts a multicultural community with African American, Latino, and Caucasian residents. The neighborhood's strategic location near Bay View, downtown, and the airport enhances its appeal. Polonia is part of Milwaukee’s Crisol Corridor, featuring a variety of shops and restaurants along South 13th Street, including Polish butcher shops, Indian and Mexican grocery stores, and numerous Latin-American bakeries. Dining options like Taqueria Arandas are local favorites, while nightlife includes bars such as Nick’s Anvil Inn and Brown’s Place. The area has seen a surge in property values, with many early 20th-century homes being revitalized. Housing styles primarily include bungalows and wood-framed duplexes, with some Craftsman, Colonial Revival, and ranch-style homes. Residents enjoy access to green spaces like Pulaski Park, which offers trails, sports facilities, and an indoor pool, and the Kinnickinnic Sports Center, featuring baseball diamonds and basketball courts. The upcoming Polonia Peace Park will provide additional recreational opportunities. The neighborhood is serviced by the Milwaukee County Transit System and is conveniently close to Interstate 94 and Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport, 4 miles away. While some streets in the southeast are prone to flooding, and noise levels can be moderate to high, Polonia remains a vibrant and accessible neighborhood.
