Tippecanoe, located between the Kinnickinnic River and the Milwaukee County Grounds, is a residential and park-adjacent Milwaukee neighborhood with brick bungalows and tree-lined blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around S 68th St near W Oklahoma Ave, where corner taverns, bakeries, and everyday storefronts set a steady, lived-in rhythm. The Avalon Theater, Oscar’s Frozen Custard, and the Urban Ecology Center’s Menomonee Valley branch act as local touchstones for nights out and weekend routines. Housing leans toward early- to mid-century homes with tidy porches and deep lots. Green space and trails shape the geography, with nearby river corridors and county parks. The pace stays calm, with small-business corridors providing the social backdrop.

RS6
Single-Family Residential District
The purpose of the RS6 single-family district is to promote, preserve and protect neighborhoods intended primarily for single-family dwellings with traditional urban character. This district allows smaller lots, smaller setbacks and a higher lot coverage than the other single-family districts. The neighborhoods found in this district were platted and developed, in large part, in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. This district also allows traditional corner commercial establishments commonly found in more urban neighborhoods.
