The Martin Drive Neighborhood is a small,
​safe and affordable neighborhood on the
​westside of Milwaukee, fortuitously
​located between beautiful Washington
​Park to the north and historic Miller
​Valley to the south. Due to its tucked
​away location, the Martin Drive Neighborhood is quiet and surprisingly free of traffic. Its mainly one-way, tree lined streets are often host to joggers, dog walkers and groups of children at play.

The Martin Drive Neighborhood is very accessible and centrally located. Only minutes from downtown Milwaukee, the neighborhood brushes against Wauwatosa to the west and it is a quick hop onto the freeway. Additionally, two large parks, a public pool, the Washington Park Library, cafes, restaurants and a number of unique shops are all within walking distance.

One of the most attractive aspects of the Martin Drive Neighborhood is its diverse and active residents, many of whom are involved in the close-knit neighborhood association. The Martin Drive Neighborhood Association is continually working to increase communication between neighbors, encouraging residents to aid in community projects and always striving to become the best neighborhood we can be!


Naming
Martin Drive Neighborhood is named after Morgan Martin, a Green Bay Lawyer and speculator, bought half of Solomon Juneau's Juneautown property for $500 in 1833. In 1835 they co-founded their new village, with Martin responsible for the legal and promotional aspects while Juneau took care of local issues.

Martin, born in Martinsburg, New York in 1805 (his father founded the town), was a Wisconsin congressman, assemblyman, and state senator, as well as Oneida Indian Agent in Green Bay. He died in 1887.
