The neighborhood
In the heart of Wauwatosa.
Olde Hillcrest runs from 68th Street on the east to Wauwatosa Avenue on the west, and from Milwaukee Avenue on the south to Lloyd and Melrose on the north.
Porches, gardens and the high school band.
Stroll our streets for the variety of homes: stately Victorians, charming cottages, farmhouses and Milwaukee bungalows, to the sound of children playing, the high school band practicing and neighbors talking on their porches.
We’re close to schools, the library and the Wauwatosa Civic Center. The houses on Garfield are not part of Olde Hillcrest, but the houses on 74th next to Garfield are.
A jewel inside our borders
The Kneeland-Walker House
The Wauwatosa Historical Society’s house and gardens sit inside Olde Hillcrest. OHNA neighbors help plan Brews & Blooms, the summer beer garden that raises money to care for the property.
Block Watch
A safe, friendly neighborhood
Our Block Watch, sponsored by the Wauwatosa Police Department, links the department with our neighbors. Volunteers on each block hand out the “Tosa Watch” newsletter and help organize National Night Out and bike registration. It has also become one of the best ways for neighbors to get to know each other.
