Top neighborhoods in Milwaukee

Upper East Side

Upper East Side

What it’s like to live in Upper East Side

Lake Michigan views wow from high-rises near Bradford Beach. Renters enjoy rooftop pools but note $200+/month parking fees in most buildings. Summer crowds overwhelm North Avenue sidewalks, while icy lake winds challenge winter commutes.

Riverwest

What it’s like to live in Riverwest

Bohemian energy defines Riverwest, where Milwaukee's diverse neighborhood blends artistic community with authentic working-class character just minutes from downtown. The walkable district surrounds multiple parks including Riverside Park with its river access, while the commercial corridors feature independent businesses from coffee roasters to vintage shops beyond corporate chains. Though some blocks show varied investment levels, the genuine community connections through cooperatives, community organizations, and arts initiatives create distinctive living experiences beyond typical rental situations focusing exclusively on housing rather than broader neighborhood engagement.

Murray Hill

Murray Hill

What it’s like to live in Murray Hill

Family serenity defines this enclave circling Kadish Park's wooded trails. Renters prize 1950s brick apartments with original hardwood floors but contend with sporadic hot water in buildings using original boilers. Limited late-night dining beyond corner delis.

Frequently Asked Questions

City Guide for Milwaukee, WI

"Beer built this city, but there is so much more to Milwaukee." (-Jewel, "The Milwaukee Song").

Milwaukee’s one of those incredible cities that everyone who doesn’t live here forgets about. Chalk that intentional amnesia up to the faded glory days of major brewers Schlitz and Miller. Insiders know there’s still a heck of a lot of folks here. Grew up in the northern suburbs but want a change of pace? Move to East Town. Accepted to Marquette’s Ph.D. program in Chemical Engineering but don’t really feel like living in studentville? Try Avenues West. There’s a place for everybody in Cream City; but you still have to look for it. View Milwaukee City Guide
