Riverwest Information
Riverwest is a neighborhood located west of the Milwaukee River and east of
Holton Street, near Milwaukee's East Side. Riverwest is noted for its ethnic
diversity (including a growing Iranian, Asian and Hispanic population), as well
as its increasing number of artists and musicians. Independent businesses and
cottage industries are the norm, reflecting the neighborhood's "counterculture"
population. The Riverwest Neighborhood Association is among the city's most
active and organized neighborhood groups. Compared to the East Side, Riverwest
features generally cheaper rents in its bungalows, duplexes, and A-frames.
Noteworthy streets include Humboldt Avenue, Center Street, and Locust Street
(which connects Riverwest to the East Side and the UWM area via a bridge).
