Copernicus Park, located between W Forest Home Ave and W Oklahoma Ave, is a residential and industrial Milwaukee neighborhood with a rail-lined edge and a patchwork of small parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around W Forest Home Ave near S 60th St, where corner taverns, auto shops, and long-running local eateries set a working-day rhythm. Landmark Lanes anchors the social calendar with bowling, leagues, and a classic bar-and-grill feel. Streets mix mid-century ranches, compact bungalows, and tidy duplex blocks, with larger commercial buildings along the main corridors. Copernicus Park itself provides open lawns and a straightforward place for walks and pickup games. The Menomonee River Parkway corridor nearby adds a greener counterpoint to the neighborhood’s practical, lived-in streetscape.

RS2
Single-Family Residential District
The purpose of the RS2 districts is to promote, preserve and protect neighborhoods intended for single-family dwellings and having a character slightly more suburban than the RS6 district. These districts require larger lots, larger setbacks and a smaller lot coverage than the RS6 district. The neighborhoods found in these districts feature a regular platting pattern and a more uniform pattern of development than those of the RS6 district. These neighborhoods were platted and developed, in large part, in the mid- to late-1900s, with some areas recently developed.
