About Bay
View
Bay View, located between Lake Michigan and the Kinnickinnic River corridor, is a lakeside and industrial-heritage Milwaukee neighborhood with a walkable main drag and bluff-top parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Kinnickinnic Avenue near E. Lincoln Avenue, where taverns, coffee counters, record bins, and small galleries line the sidewalks. Landmark Lanes anchors the social calendar with bowling and a classic barroom feel, while the Avalon Theater keeps a marquee-lit moviegoing tradition on KK. The South Shore Park pavilion and marina set the shoreline rhythm, with paths tracing the lakefront. Housing mixes Cream City brick flats, worker-era cottages, and updated duplexes. The Hoan Bridge frames many eastward views.

The purpose of the RS5 districts is to promote, preserve and protect neighborhoods intended for single-family dwellings and having a character slightly more suburban than the RS6 district. These districts require larger lots, larger setbacks and a smaller lot coverage than the RS6 district. The neighborhoods found in these districts feature a regular platting pattern and a more uniform pattern of development than those of the RS6 district. These neighborhoods were platted and developed, in large part, in the mid- to late-1900s, with some areas recently developed.
