Neighborhoods
You are staying in the Johnson's Woods area. This is a unique little section of Milwaukee. The park itself is large. The homes are well kept and the streets are well-lit. Kids playing can be heard. The north side of the woods is where the house is located. This puts you very near to everything in Milwaukee and Wauwatosa and all they have to offer for events, restaurants, and shopping.
