Historic Grant Park House for Sale

Historic Grant Park has been part of South Milwaukee since before it was a city, but much of its value is tied to Grant Park, Milwaukee County's oldest park. Dating back to 1910, the park is a significant destination for the community and the entire city. Its sweeping acres of natural woodlands, recreational facilities and Lake Michigan beach access are loved by locals and visitors, generating much of the city's tourism outside of downtown. Residents are within walking distance of several access points and find reasons to visit throughout the year. Historic homes sit along quiet streets that feel set apart from the rest of the city without compromising access to the highway and downtown business corridor. While most homes were built around the 1950s, some date back to 1870, almost 30 years before South Milwaukee gained its cityhood. Ranch-style homes, Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals and bungalows are most common throughout the neighborhood. Some properties are custom or have unique historic flourishes, like Tudor-style half-timbering and stone masonry. Homes sit farther back on lots, creating ample space for shade trees, sidewalks and ornamental lawns. Prices range between $220,000
