About this home
Public Remarks: City of Milwaukee tax foreclosed properties. Development Site. Old foundation may be underground from past demolition of the buildings. Being ''Sold As Is''.
Williamsburg, located between W North Ave and W Capitol Dr, is a residential and commercial Milwaukee neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around N 76th St near W Good Hope Rd, where everyday storefronts, casual eateries, and service shops set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Nearby, the Uihlein Soccer Park complex anchors weekends with fields and tournament energy. Dretzka Park adds wooded trails and open greens that shape the area’s outdoor cadence. Housing leans toward brick single-family homes and low-rise apartments, with wide lots and mature trees. Errands and commuting patterns follow the north–south corridors, keeping the geography legible and practical.

LB2
Local Business District
These districts provide a wide range of goods and services to a large consumer population coming from an extensive area. Within these districts, motor-vehiclerelated activities are of major significance. Good access by motor vehicle or public transit is important to local business districts, which are often located adjacent to intersections of major thoroughfares and in close proximity to bus transfer locations. The LB1 district is characterized by a more suburban development pattern, with larger lots and deeper setbacks, while the development pattern in the LB2 district tends to be more urban, with smaller lots and smaller setbacks. The LB3 district is the most urban and is characterized by design standards appropriate for neighborhood commercial hubs, centers, corridors and transit-oriented development areas that have a denser level of development and may have taller buildings, all of which promote compact, walkable, sustainable neighborhoods
