Listed by Rhonda Simonson• RE/MAX Lakeside-Central
Riverwest, located between the Milwaukee River and I-43, is a historic and artsy Milwaukee neighborhood with a walkable main drag and a strong DIY spirit. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Center Street near Bremen Street, where corner taverns, coffee counters, record bins, and small galleries keep the sidewalks active. Cream City brick duplexes, worker-era cottages, and converted storefronts give the blocks a textured, lived-in streetscape. Landmark Lanes anchors the bowling-and-bar tradition, while Company Brewing and Linneman’s Riverwest Inn serve as long-running gathering spots. Beer gardens and river paths shape daily routines, with green space stitched in at Kadish Park. The feel is urban and neighborly, with murals and porch lights setting the tone after dark.

RT4
Two-Family Residential District
The purpose of the RT4 district is to promote, preserve and protect neighborhoods intended primarily for 2-family dwellings while also permitting a mixture of single-family dwellings and small multi-family dwellings of 3 or 4 units. This district, much like the RT3 district, allows smaller lots, smaller setbacks and a higher lot coverage than the RT1 and RT2 districts. The neighborhoods found in this district were platted and developed, in large part, in the late 1800s and early 1900s. This district also allows traditional corner commercial establishments commonly found in urban neighborhoods.
