Public Remarks: Charming stone-accented ranch home offering incredible potential located in the Lincoln Creek Section of the City of Milwaukee. Perfect for savvy investors or first-time buyers looking to build sweat equity, this compact single-family property is packed with foundational value. Nice bedroom sizes, full basement, large back yard and 2 car garage.
Old North Milwaukee, located between W North Ave and W Capitol Dr, is a historic and residential Milwaukee neighborhood with classic brick architecture and a strong corridor feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along W North Ave near N 12th St, where corner storefronts, murals, and small eateries set a street-level rhythm. Lynden Sculpture Garden reads as a cultural anchor for outdoor art and quiet paths, while the Milwaukee County Historical Society’s Trimborn Farm offers a local-history counterpoint nearby. Housing stock leans toward early-20th-century duplexes and compact single-family homes with front porches and mature trees. Blocks shift quickly from commercial strips to calmer side streets, giving daily errands a walkable pattern. Transit lines along major arterials connect the neighborhood to downtown and adjacent districts.

For less than 20,000 you can't afford NOT to have this property!!! Currently assessed at $41,200.. .this ranch sits on a quiet block, is in need of rehab, and ready for a lucky new buyer to bring it back to life! Great rental potential and will make for a fun fall/winter project. Property being sold as is. Potential seller financing with approved credit.
The purpose of the RT3 district is to promote, preserve and protect neighborhoods intended primarily for two-family dwellings with a traditional urban character. This district, much like the RT4 district, allows smaller lots, smaller setbacks and a higher lot coverage than the RT1 and RT2 districts. However, it does not allow the establishment of new, multi-family buildings. The neighborhoods in this district were platted and developed, in large part, in the early 1900s and tend to be more uniform than those of the RT4 district.
