Olde Hillcrest Neighborhood
One of Wauwatosa’s strengths is it’s neighborhoods. I am fortunate to live in the Olde Hillcrest neighborhood, an area just west of the Washington Highlands. The neighborhood runs from 68th Street west to 76th Street and from Milwaukee Avenue south to Lloyd (except for a little section west of 73rd Street, there the Olde Hillcrest northern boundry is Garfield Avenue).
The neighborhood has many assets, one of which is the Kneeland Walker house, which is pictured here. Owned by the Wauwatosa Historical Society, it is open for tours of groups of 10 or more, and is the site of the Olde Hillcrest neighborhood’s Christmas party, Easter egg hunt, and the neighborhood’s summer picnic.
The neighborhood association is very active and offers many chances for neighbors to get together and have some fun. In addition to the activities mentioned above, we also have an annual neighborhood rummage sale and numerous clubs. I belong to the dining out, restoration and wine clubs.
There is also a movie club, a book club, a senior’s club, a volunteer club, a helping hands club, and a walking club, along with a bunco group.
Please visit OHNA’s web site for even more information, www.OldeHillCrest.org.
Living in Olde Hillcrest you will never be lonely or bored!
