Capitol Heights - Milwaukee, WI
Area Guide
Approximately eight miles northwest of downtown Milwaukee sits the neighborhood of Capital Heights. Two commercial areas lie along Wisconsin Highway 175 and West Capitol Drive, while mid-20th century single-family homes for rent fill the side streets of this mostly residential community.
Capitol Heights residents enjoy spending time at nearby Dineen Park for fishing in the lagoon, playing a round on its disc golf course, or having a picnic under the pavilion. Grab a sandwich at Larry's Hoagies & Bar-B-Que Station, and enjoy the latest bestseller from the Capitol Library before heading over to the park to take in the scenic views. After a long day of work, stop by Irie Palace for an authentic Jamaican meal of Jerk Chicken or Curry Shrimp. On weekend nights, the retro Kitt's Frozen Custard drive-in caters to locals in droves with its savory chocolate custard shakes and banana splits.
