What’s For Sale? Taking A Look At Properties For Sale In South Milwaukee

It’s time for another installment of What’s For Sale? — a regular glimpse at the local real estate market.

A highlight this week: the former Zion Lutheran Church (and later Calvary Academy) property at 2200 9th Ave. (9th and Madison). The building, listed at $150,000, is back on the market after an attempt by a local man to use the property as a commercial kitchen, breakfast/fish fry restaurant and indoor farmers’ market fell through earlier this month.

The plan has been considered at a couple Plan Commission meetings and approved by the City Council before it fell apart.

Check out property details here. And here are some other properties listed through Metro MLS at Nicholson Realty’s website, a sampling of single-family, multifamily and commercial property:

What’s For Sale? For Starters, The Old City Hall, Police and Fire Station (List: $700,000)

It’s time for the latest installment of What’s For Sale, which provides a snapshot of South Milwaukee properties on the real estate market.

Let’s start with a 22-unit apartment building at 2005 10th Ave. that just happens to be the former City Hall, police and fire station. According to the description, the building is now owned by the bank, so you might be able to get a deal on the $700,000 asking price.

Learn more in this listing on the Nicholson Realty website. And this story from a 1986 edition of the Milwaukee Journal takes a look at the initial plans for the building after the city sold it (five years after moving City Hall to the former Parkway School building).

And here are some other properties up for sale:

What’s For Sale: Unveiling A New South Milwaukee Blog Feature

One thing I love about South Milwaukee is its varied and distinctive, yet affordable, housing stock.

There really is something for everyone out there — and that’s a huge positive for our city, one I think we should embrace and promote to potential new residents and businesses. With that in mind, I thought I’d unveil a new South Milwaukee Blog feature: “What’s For Sale?”

It’s simply this … sharing on occasion links to some South Milwaukee homes on the market found on local real estate websites. The goal? Shine the light on our available housing stock and inform existing homeowners about “what’s out there.”

Plus, I just think this is interesting information. I hope you agree.

I’ll start this week with these five homes listed by Nicholson Realty:
