The Village & The Menomonee River Parkway
The Wauwatosa Village is the heart and soul of this community. Filled with independently owned restaurants, boutique shops, and gathering spaces that give Tosa its unmistakable personality. Running right alongside it, the Menomonee River Parkway offers one of the most beautiful walking, running, and strolling routes in the area. Peaceful, gorgeous, and right in your backyard it's the kind of amenity that reminds you every day why you chose to live here.
Location & Schools
Wauwatosa is centrally located. You're just minutes from downtown Milwaukee with easy access heading north or south, and just a short drive from American Family Field, home of the Milwaukee Brewers. You're never far from where you need to be while still coming home to the quiet of Tosa every night. Families choose Wauwatosa in large part for its school district, consistently ranked among the best in Wisconsin. The district offers traditional neighborhood schools, a dedicated STEM school, and a Montessori program all with robust extracurriculars and outstanding community support. Wauwatosa East and Wauwatosa West are both exceptional high schools with strong academics, competitive athletics, and thriving arts programs.
North Avenue: Tosa's Coolest Corridor
North Avenue has become one of Wauwatosa's most exciting lifestyle destinations. Colectivo Coffee is a Milwaukee neighborhood favorite. Kwench Juice Café is the go to for fresh, energizing options. Idyll Coffee Roasters is a must for the true coffee enthusiast. North Avenue Grill delivers the kind of classic diner energy that never goes out of style. And Joy Ice Cream has become the place to be in Tosa on a warm summer evening you'll find the line out the door, and everyone in it will tell you it's absolutely worth the wait.
Parks & Community
Troll Park is such a beloved local gem, full of charm and character, while Hart Park is the place to be in the summer with live music, great food, and the pool. And the Tosa Farmer’s Market on Harwood is one of my personal favorites weekly local vendors, fresh food, and live music give the whole event such a fun, festive neighborhood feel.
Beautiful Homes for Every Budget
Tosa has rightfully earned the nickname "City of Homes." Craftsman Bungalows, Cape Cods, and Victorian cottages offer incredible charm and character at approachable price points filled with original hardwood floors, stained glass windows, and front porches that simply can't be replicated in new construction. For those seeking something grander, Colonial Revivals, Tudor Revivals, and Mediterranean Revival estates in neighborhoods like Washington Highlands and Olde Hillcrest are among the most spectacular properties in all of Milwaukee County. Whether you're a first time buyer or searching for a one of a kind luxury home, Wauwatosa has something for you.

After more than a decade in this market, my passion for Tosa hasn't dimmed one bit. This is a community that takes care of its own where neighbors show up for each other and every corner has something to offer.
