Upper East Side Home for Sale

Milwaukee's Upper East Side is a vibrant neighborhood influenced by the nearby University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Students and staff fill the area, living and commuting along its high-density streets. The area features a mix of early 1900s architecture, including American Foursquares, bungalows, Victorian duplexes and stately brick colonials. Homes range from fixer-uppers around $300,000 to elaborate estates over $1 million. Most properties have detached garages, though street parking is common. Lake Park borders the neighborhood, and Riverside Park is nearby. The Oak Leaf Trail, a 135-mile multi-use trail, passes through both green spaces. The parks themselves offer ample opportunities for outdoor activities, including tennis, golf and nature walks. Local attractions include the annual Downer Classic bike race and the Miramar Theatre for new movies and vintage reruns. Oakland Avenue offers a variety of dining options, including Thai A Kitchen, Immy’s African Cuisine and Lisa’s Pizzeria. The area is highly walkable, with essentials available at Whole Foods, a mile away. Public transportation options include bus lines that connect to downtown Milwaukee, three miles away, with a typical bus trip taking 25 minutes and a car ride taking about 10 minutes. Residents can walk to the university and rent public bikes at multiple Bublr stations around the community.
