Quaint, tree-lined neighborhood — featuring historic architecture, UW-Milwaukee, and the lakefront
Refined and peaceful, Milwaukee’s Upper East Side is a charming place to call home.

Residents live steps from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee campus, Lake Park, casual eateries, and Riverside Park.

Buyers seeking a high-end property can find what they desire on Lake Drive — which is well-known for its luxurious dwellings.
Overflowing with historical significance and beauty, the Upper East Side is a highly-coveted neighborhood. A great place for students, families, and working professionals, this community is idyllic.
