About Historic Third Ward

The Historic Third Ward in Milwaukee is a vibrant neighborhood known for its artistic culture and historical significance. After a fire in 1892, the area was rebuilt as a warehouse district and has since transformed into a lively residential and commercial hub. The neighborhood is home to the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD) and the Milwaukee Arts Resource Network (MARN), fostering a strong creative community. The Broadway Theatre Center hosts performances by Skylight Music Theatre and Milwaukee Chamber Theatre, while Radio Milwaukee broadcasts from its local studio. Culinary arts thrive at the Milwaukee Public Market, featuring diverse vendors and eateries like Cafe Benelux. Nightlife options range from rooftop views at The Outsider to the unique indoor wiffleball field at Broken Bat Brewing Company. Visitors can explore the Harley-Davidson Museum and the whimsical National Bobblehead Museum, both located in the Historic Third Ward. The neighborhood also hosts major events such as Summerfest and various cultural festivals at Henry Maier Festival Park. The area is highly walkable and offers numerous things to do, particularly during the busy spring and summer months. Housing in the Historic Third Ward primarily consists of repurposed warehouses turned condos, with additional new constructions since 1999. The Hop streetcar system provides free transportation within the neighborhood and connects to other parts of Milwaukee. The neighborhood's proximity to Interstate 794 and an Amtrak station offers convenient travel options to nearby cities. Outdoor activities are abundant with Lakeshore State Park, the Hank Aaron State Trail, and the Oak Leaf Trail. The only school within the neighborhood is MIAD, with nearby options including the highly-rated St. Joan Antida for high school education.
