Affordable Walkable Cities: Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Affordable Walkable Cities: Milwaukee, Wisconsin

In this series, we will look at cities that are just plain underrated. We will focus on specific neighborhoods that are walkable and bike-able to services and amenities within a reasonable distance. The 15 minute city in America?

What actually qualifies as Affordable? We will be looking at cities with average rent and median home sale price or below.

What qualifies as Walkable? The entire city doesn’t have to be walkable since that’s unrealistic but they must have at least several neighborhoods with a good walk, bike and transit score. The goal is to find an area within the city where you can absolutely live car free.

There’s a reason why I chose Milwaukee as the first city in the series of ‘Affordable Walkable Cities’. I only highlighted 3 walkable areas but there’s other neighborhoods like Historic Third Ward, River View and Washington Heights. If you can stomach the winters, Milwaukee might just be the very best value walkable city in America.
