Nestled along the Milwaukee River, River Hills stands as Wisconsin's only community zoned exclusively residential. Established in 1930, this suburb spans just over 5 square miles and features expansive properties, with most residential lots extending beyond five acres. The historic Milwaukee Country Club, established in 1911, and the Lynden Sculpture Garden enhance the area's natural landscape.
River Hills combines peaceful wooded surroundings with convenient access to Milwaukee's urban amenities. The village connects seamlessly to neighboring communities like Glendale, Fox Point, and Whitefish Bay, offering diverse shopping and dining options. Interstate 43 provides a direct route to downtown Milwaukee, typically a 15-minute drive away.
