Neighborhood

Walker’s Point has become a restaurant hotspot in Milwaukee. Newer lofts mingle side-by-side with older brick apartment buildings in this quasi-industrial, trendy neighborhood, which sits immediately southwest of Milwaukee's downtown.

As you stroll the streets past the neighborhood's mix of popular bars and tapas joints, you’ll find an incredible mix of upscale choice. Restaurants in Walker's Point tend to use locally-sourced food, some from artisanal producers right in the neighborhood. National Avenue and Interstate 43 serve as the major thoroughfares in this part of Milwaukee, making it easy to commute across the river or anywhere else.

Charming Community + 5 Star Management

The Block community offers a unique boutique experience. From our initial communications through move-in living here has been amazing. The apartment itself has incredible finishes and the management is 5 star. I appreciate the personal touch, it certainly doesn’t feel like any other apartment I’ve lived in. Thank you to Mike, Vicky, Lynn and Mowgli for all you do!
