Historic Granville Neighborhood

Milwaukee…
a city of neighborhoods….
thriving and growing…

Hi, I’m Michael Cudahy and I had the good fortune of living and working in a neighborhood that I’m proud of.

The early rustic, rural beginnings of Granville created a past for me of wonderful memories;
the present experience is unfolding;
the promise of the future is unknown to all of us but to be a part of it is exciting to behold
and many possibilities realized through the Historic Granville Corporation .
Hi, I’m Jawana Henry. My family is benefiting from the Historic Granville Corporation.
Along with Mike Cudahy, we’d like to tell you a little more about our neighborhood.

Any solid, grounded and healthy neighborhood needs at least ten elements. So fasten your seat belts and get ready because we’re not stopping…
With borders ranging from 68th Street to the east; 124th Street to the west; County Line Road to the north and Mill Road to the south; Historic Granville represents fourteen square miles of diverse retail.

Education is important to everyone. As a grandmother, I think about my family’s education often. That’s why it’s one of the ten elements to a neighborhood.

Historic Granville has many wonderful primary, secondary; public and private schools as well as a large public library.

“Open space.” 20% of Historic Granville is “green.” Space to breathe, reflect and regenerate yourself is the second element important to us in Historic Granville.

And, related to “Open space,” comes our next element, “Recreation.” Public parks, golf courses, swimming pools are present throughout the neighborhoods.

“Diverse population” is number three and represents both the present and the promise of Historic Granville. Including white and blacks are Hispanic, Slovic, Southeast asian and other cultures.

There are 15 neighborhoods in Historic Granville.

“Diverse housing” is another important consideration in a thriving neighborhood. Homes range in price from $50,000 to $250,000.00.

Additionally, a diverse population graces Historic Granville celebrating the best of Milwaukee and providing good employment opportunities for everyone.

Three “Light Industrial” Parks mix office and commercial interest. They are prospering presently and more promised in Historic Granville.

Elements taken for granted yet plentiful are celebrated in the fifth element: churches and places of worship.

  • Rooted…..
  • Inspiring….
  • Challenging….
  • Fulfilling….

There are numerous places of worship in “Historic Granville” with other faith traditions on its way.

  • The Neighborhood List continues with Healthcare.
  • Alexian Village of Milwaukee
  • Friendship Village "Aurora Healtcare"
  • Luther Village
  • Covenant Healthcare
  • Advance Healthcare
  • Falls Medical Group
Rounding out the Top Ten list is “Good Roadway Access.” Three major roadways: 181, 145 and 100 provide easy access.

Oh wait, we made a mistake…there’s not ten elements to a good neighborhood. We forget the most important one….

The “Historic Granville Corporation” that teams up business leaders to support and encourage northwest Milwaukee growth.
AVM, YMCA, The Woodlands, Friendship Village, Risen Savior Lutheran Church, Trucker Development, Northridge Estates Homeowners Corporation, meet regularly to solidify this new neighborhood with an old name.

An old neighborhood with a new name….or is it a new name for an old neighborhood.
