Riverwest Apartments
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).
