    "15 minutes from the stadium, arena, theaters and the airport. Milwaukee is a great small city with plenty of big city amenities."
  • Lake.erin
    "The Third Ward has easy access to the freeway as well as to downtown and the lakefront. My commute is to the south side and it is an easy drive, with the option to use the freeway or a leisurely drive through the fifth ward. "
  • Ablasezyk
    "I love the third ward and highly recommended the area. Great neighbors, tons of local activities, and very safe."
  • Hogan.matthew
    "This neighborhood is fantastic! It has great restaurants, coffee shops and places for a drink. There's a dog park going in across the river and it's right next to Lakeshore State Park. The whole place - residents and businesses - all come together for a stronger community."
  • Maggie H.
    "The most amazing area to live in! So lively during the day and calm and quiet at night. Very well lit and have always felt safe walking at night. Great restaurants and stores!"
  • Ablasezyk
    "The third ward is a vibrant community full of life and activities. We have wonderful neighbors in our apartment building that we have gotten to know very well. Great place to live! Would highly recommend!!"
  • Ablasezyk
    "This is the best neighborhood for owning a dog! Everyone has dogs! For a city area there is a lot of green space and little parks here and there. Unfortunately no designated dog park. The closest dog park is in Bay View about 10 mins away by car. "
  • Jwl311
    "Historic City neighborhood. It has great energy, but also has a quaint feel and vibe. Very pet friendly, walkable to everything."
  • Julieanding
    "Great mix of arts, food, music and culture. There is always something going on. Easy access to highways, airport and shopping. "
  • Priya
    "Overpriced, but it’s safe and close to lots of downtown shops and restaurants. Most don’t stay more than a few months to a year due to price."
  • Margaret f.
    "Lived in Third Ward for three years. Loved the walkability, convenience of shops and festivals, and safety. Not overwhelmingly friendly or community based, but good for convenience and location."
  • samobradovich
    "Great community. Many restaurant options. Public market is great but wish there was a closer grocery store. Would love one in the 5th Ward. "
