Bordered on two sides by college campuses, Edgewood College and University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Vilas neighborhood is a thriving combination of artistic individuals, young families, students and lifelong stalwarts of one of Madison’s most desirable neighborhoods.

The Henry Vilas Zoo is a destination for people of all ages, and one of the nicest free zoos in the country. It borders Lake Wingra and the UW-Arboretum, two perfect places for a gentle canoe ride, stroll in the woods or bike ride with friends. Few neighborhoods in the downtown area of this kind of access to wide open natural areas, so it is no wonder that Vilas neighborhood residents take pride in these features of their neighborhood.

Monroe Street has a local blend of outstanding shops for everything you could need. A short walk from any house can get you to a pharmacy, great restaurants and coffee shops, a grocery store, custard stand, bank branch and one of Madison’s most used library branches.

The architecture of the neighborhood is another quality that sets it apart from most areas in Madison. Victorian, Queen Anne, Craftsman, Georgian Revival and Tutor styles populate this historic neighborhood, which works cooperatively with homeowners to assist in covering renovation costs for these historically important homes.

If you love the blend of intellectual and artistic, the energy of active people, and appreciate the charm of historic homes, Vilas neighborhood might be perfect for you. Call Mark at 608.239.5593 to learn more about homes in this Madison neighborhood.
