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.

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.
