Selling a House in South Milwaukee: What We See Here

South Milwaukee is a lakefront city of about 21,000 people (20,795 at the 2020 census) on the southern edge of Milwaukee County, a separate city from Milwaukee with its own city hall and its own rules.

South Milwaukee was laid out in 1891 as an industrial suburb, became a village in 1892 and a city in 1897. Grant Park, part of the Milwaukee County Park System, is inside the city, with an 18-hole golf course and a Lake Michigan beach, and the old South Milwaukee Passenger Station is on the National Register of Historic Places. The city was long home to Bucyrus International, whose shovels were used on the Panama Canal. The 2020 census counted 9,588 housing units here, 5.7% of them vacant.
