The historic Brewer’s Hill neighborhood contains some of the oldest houses and buildings in the city of Milwaukee. Mansions built from the heyday of beer brewing stand next to quaint cottages in this architecturally varied neighborhood. Brewer’s Hill sits on a prominent bluff north of downtown along the Milwaukee River. Brewer’s Hill has begun shifting from an industrial community to a picturesque, family-friendly neighborhood with homes and condos with city views.
And because Brewer’s Hill is on the rise, the local breweries, bars, and businesses are too. From Lakefront Brewery to Uncle Wolfie’s Breakfast Tavern, the establishments in this town evoke a unique charm. This neighborhood is ideal for craft beer enthusiasts, downtown commuters, and students attending one of the universities nearby. Craft brews, a close-knit community, tree-lined streets, well-kept lawns, walkable streets, and picture-worthy residential neighborhoods await you in Brewer’s Hill.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
