Our properties are situated mainly in Milwaukee's Third and Fifth Wards — two vibrant mixed-use neighborhoods where congenial residential space rubs shoulders with a diverse throng of prosperous small businesses, specialty shops, markets, eating and drinking establishments, alongside a multitude of art galleries, museums and resident theatre companies. The Historic Third Ward is also home to the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD) and the Henry W. Maier Festival Park, site of Milwaukee's annual Summerfest Music Festival and a roster of summertime ethnic festivals celebrating the city's rich cultural heritage.
To really experience our city to the fullest, here are just a few attractions
we'd like to recommend. Go ahead —give yourself a treat!
 The Harley-Davidson Museum, a 130,000-square-foot facility on a park-like 20-acre waterfront site, exhibits a fantastic collection of more than 450 motorcycles and thousands of artifacts, all celebrating the Motor Company's history and heritage. Visit
The Milwaukee Art Museum houses a permanent collection of more than 20,000 works of art in over 40 galleries, as well as hosting major visiting exhibitions. The museum also contributed a bold addition to the Milwaukee cityscape with the 2001 completion of its Quadracci Pavilion, the work of Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Dramatically highlighting this structure is the graceful Burke Brise Soleil, a moveable, wing-like sunshade that unfolds during daylight hours to reach a span of 217 feet. Visit
The Milwaukee Public Market keeps alive a tradition of freshness in the same Market District neighborhood where the city's wholesale produce trade once thrived. The Public Market offers prime retail space to food growers and purveyors, keeping a particular emphasis on artisan producers and food traditions with roots in  Wisconsin agriculture and Milwaukee’s own flavorful international heritage. Visit
The Henry W. Maier Festival Park plays host annually to Summerfest, the world's largest music festival. In addition to the many outdoor stages, the site also includes the 23,000-seat Marcus Amphitheater, a partially covered venue that features performances all through the warmer months.
The Festival Park is also home to nearly a dozen specialty celebrations of music and community spirit, ranging from Festa Italiana to German Fest and Mexican Fiesta. Visit
Miller Park is the city's 42,200-seat ballpark and home to the Milwaukee Brewers Major League Baseball team. The vast retractable roof keeps patrons out of the wet on inclement days, opens to let you enjoy your hot dog under blue skies when the weather's fine. A favorite during every game is the bottom-of-the-sixth race around the bases by a fivesome of fleet-footed Klement's Sausages — the Bratwurst, the Italian, the Chorizo, the Polish and the Hot Dog. Visit
The 20,000-seat Bradley Center indoor arena is the home court of Milwaukee Bucks and Marquette Golden Eagles basketball and the home ice of Milwaukee Admirals hockey. On non-sport days, the venue hosts events ranging from professional wrestling to rock concerts to family shows such as Sesame Street Live and figure skating. Visit
