    …and the address is?

    Chad, I don’t know the address, but I’ve seen the house, its on Palmer as mentioned, a few blocks north of North Ave, maybe between Wright and Clarke? Not sure but its somewhere around there, if you just head north from North, you’ll see it!

    I had to laugh at that assessment history, yes its a nice house but I don’t care if its the Taj Mahal, NOTHING west of Holton is going to be worth anywhere near $450,000, not even during the peak of the real estate bubble!!! You’ve just got to love how the city of Milwaukee RAPES its tax paying residents any way it can!

  3. Biff — The high assessment number was a clerical error on my part. “Danger — Reporter doing math.” I do not agree with the rest of your statement. Perhaps you might learn about the assessment process in the State of Wisconsin — the city does not make the rules on assessment.
