About Milwaukee

Milwaukee’s downtown is known for its variety of rowhouse, midrise and highrise condominium communities. Despite continued demand, no new condos have been built in nearly a generation. To the north, one primarily finds beautiful turn of the century single and multiple family homes. Residents enjoy proximity to the lake front, festivals, art, theater and dining.

What Richard Loves About Milwaukee

"As a Milwaukee resident, I love to take out of town guests for brunch in the Third Ward, a walk along Lake Michigan, and a visit to our wonderful Art Museum that includes buildings designed by world renowned architects Eero Saarinen and Santiago Calatrava. If one times it right, the day can end at one of the variety of festivals that occur at the nearby Summerfest Grounds."

Richard's Market Commentary

"Milwaukee provides an unmatched variety of housing options, from the majestic historic homes of the east side, to the view oriented highrises downtown, and the dramatic lofts of the third ward, there is an ideal place for everyone. And the best of the lakefront and the city are mere steps away."
