Nice home building site in conveniently located Uptown neighborhood. No builder or HOA restrictions -- you are welcome to bring your own design! Both modern and traditional style homes permitted. Available for single family or duplex new construction for owner occupancy only; however, builders may also purchase to construct a model/spec home to resell once completed to an owner occupant.

About
Uptown
Uptown, located between W North Ave and W Wisconsin Ave, is a historic and walkable Milwaukee neighborhood with early-20th-century storefront blocks and leafy residential streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around W North Ave and N 27th St, where corner taverns, barbershops, carryouts, and small groceries keep the sidewalks active. Cream City brick duplexes and compact bungalows set a grounded architectural rhythm behind the commercial strips. Sherman Phoenix serves as a community pillar with a food hall, makers, and gathering space under one roof. Nearby, the Wisconsin Black Historical Society/Museum anchors local history and exhibitions. Washington Park’s lagoon paths and ballfields add a green counterpoint to the grid.

RT2
Two-Family Residential District
The purpose of the RT1-RT2 districts is to promote, preserve and protect neighborhoods intended primarily for one- and 2-family dwellings. Properties in these districts typically have larger setbacks and smaller lot coverage than those found in the RT3 or RT4 districts. Commercial uses are not allowed in these districts. The neighborhoods found in RT1 and RT2 districts feature a regular platting standard and a more uniform pattern of development than those of the RT3 district. These neighborhoods were platted and developed, in large part, in the mid- to late-1900s, with some areas recently developed.
