Park-filled neighborhood with walkable schools 15 minutes from downtown Madison

Between the shores of Lake Mendota and the Cherokee Marsh wetlands surrounding the Yahara River, Sherman Village is a sunny Madison suburb less than 6 miles from downtown. Comprised of an array of ranch-style homes built in the 1950s and ‘60s, Sherman Village is an established neighborhood with solid roots. “All of Madison's older North Side neighborhoods have great communities,” says Lindsey Cooper, a Madison resident and Realtor with Lauer Realty Group. With tree-lined streets, two schools within walking distance and plenty of neighborhood parks, this area is especially popular with families or anyone who wants the quiet of the suburbs with the proximity of the city.

Established ranch-style homes along tranquil streets

The streets of Sherman Village are lined by sidewalks and rows of old-growth trees, making for relaxing walks down the wide and winding roads. Ranch-style homes with detached garages are a common sight, with many having hipped roofs, pastel-painted siding and white accented trim. Yards are moderately sized, with enough room for a driveway between houses, landscaping with shrubbery on the front lawn and a playset in the backyard. Prices start at around $275,000 and can climb to over $400,000 for a three-bedroom single-family home, but some two-bedroom condos are also available at a median price of around $347,000.
