Apartments: Westown
Located west of the Milwaukee River, Westown blends some of Milwaukee’s most significant historic architecture with the energy of a rapidly evolving downtown neighborhood. Architectural and cultural landmarks include the Gilded Age Pabst Mansion, Marquette University’s medieval St. Joan of Arc Chapel, the historic Turner Hall Ballroom and Riverside Theater, along with beautifully restored and repurposed buildings throughout the district.
The Brewery District, developed from the former Pabst Brewing Company complex, is one of the neighborhood’s most notable examples of adaptive reuse, bringing residences, businesses, restaurants and entertainment to the historic brewery campus. Nearby, the Deer District and Fiserv Forum have transformed another section of Westown into a major sports and entertainment destination. Home to the Milwaukee Bucks, Fiserv Forum also hosts major concerts and events, while the surrounding Deer District offers restaurants, gathering spaces and year-round activities.
Westown is also home to MKE Night Market, which brings food, vendors, artists and entertainment to West Wisconsin Avenue during the warmer months, as well as Milwaukee’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, a tradition dating to 1843. The neighborhood’s section of the Milwaukee RiverWalk connects residents and visitors with restaurants, bars, entertainment venues and opportunities to experience downtown from the water.
