If you are looking for a vibrant community in an extremely convenient location, you have to look at East Town Tosa. Located at the far NE section of Wauwatosa, this neighborhood is bordered by 60th Street to the East, 76th Street to the West, North Avenue to the South, and Center Street to the North (except for those few blocks where Wauwatosa runs North of Center for a half block or so – 73rd St, 74th St, and 75th St.).
Residents love the walkability of the neighborhood. On any given day or night, anytime of the year, you will see people out walking, usually with a dog or a stroller or both! You can walk to City Hall and the library, conveniently located on 76th & North Avenue, plus you can walk to schools, parks, and all the great shops and restaurants along North Avenue. There is even a movie theater – the Rosebud Cinema drafthouse. Some of the best known restaurants are Il Mito, Ted’s and Cranky Al’s. Juniper 61, Great Taste and the Daymaker Cafe are neighborhood favorites also.
Many of the homes in the neighborhood were built in the 1920’s and have lots of Old World Charm. You will find many bungalows, along with cape cods and colonials. Artificial fireplaces, built-in buffets or china cabinets, leaded glass, gleaming hardwood floors, coved ceilings and arched doorways are the norm. The picture of the living room below is typical of what you will find in the neighborhood. East Towne residents love their homes & their pride of ownership shows!
