Whitefish Bay is a residential North Shore village along Lake Michigan, known for its Colonial, Tudor and Cape Cod homes on a regular grid of sidewalked streets, and for the shops and restaurants of the Silver Spring Drive business district. Klode Park and the lakefront bluffs are popular gathering places.
Much of the housing stock dates to the 1920s through the 1950s, and many homes have been owned by one family for decades — which is why Whitefish Bay sales often involve an estate or a long-time owner moving to something smaller.
