The North Shore's Top Luxury Condos | Milwaukee Real Estate

Milwaukee’s North Shore is one of the most desirable places to live in all of Wisconsin. Known for great schools, walkable communities, and gorgeous views of Lake Michigan, home buyers flock to this location. Low inventory and rising prices are commonplace for home ownership here. A great alternative to single family living are the North Shore’s luxury condos and townhouse offerings if you can find them.

Sought-after locations like Whitefish Bay and Shorewood have few offerings and the townhomes at Ravina Estates with Lake Michigan Views in Shorewood and Whitefish Bay’s 5600 North Lake almost never hit the market. These properties lie in the heart of their communities, offer walkable turnkey living with no exterior maintenance required, and are highly sought after by snowbirds who want to live close to their children.

Luxury condos, by definition, start in the mid $500,000 range and exceed prices of over a million dollars when you start looking at condos in Columbia Creek. Expect high prices and competitive bids in the North Shore. Condo fees for some of the more convenient locations can exceed $800 a month. Be sure to review the condo documents for condo rules and regulations for each complex.

Your agent should know the condo developments in your area and what issues they might have. Things that could negatively affect your life in a condo might include special assessments and infrastructure problems within the building. A good agent will be able to tell you if there’s been acrimony over community issues. They will also know which developments have fared best in resale values, which is especially important. If the condo isn’t your forever home, you’re going to want to maximize its value when you sell it.

No matter what your goal is with buying a condo, it will likely cost a little more in 2022. In Milwaukee’s North Shore buying a condo will feel just as competitive as trying to find a single-family home. Compare multiple properties and be flexible about your must-haves and nice-to-haves. Consult with a real estate professional who specializes in condos in Milwaukee’s North Shore to guide you in your home search and protect your interests during the process.
