Cudahy is a comfortable, quaint village south of the City of Milwaukee with a population of about 18,000. This village is largely residential, with commercial buildings and eateries lining Packard Avenue. The main attractions of Cudahy are its outdoor entertainment and its strong community feel.
Originally known as the Buckhorn Settlement, it was renamed Cudahy in the late 1800s when Patrick Cudahy purchased 700 acres of land in the Town of Lake to build his meatpacking plant. The first village president was elected in 1895, and by 1906 Cudahy was incorporated as a city with a population of 2,556.
Cudahy’s diverse landscape offers outdoor fun in the form of many parks and trails. Cudahy has six parks with over 800 acres of parkland, its most popular being the lakefront park. There, residents can relax in the sun, enjoy the waves, or travel the Oak Leaf Trail, a popular destination for bikers and joggers of all skill level. Parks also provide a public pool, tennis and basketball courts, and an 18-hole golf course.
Cudahy also offers a Farmer’s Market on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays during the summer and fall months, bringing residents farm-fresh food and a spectacular family environment. Cudahy also hosts many community events throughout the year, including their 4th of July celebration and family movie nights throughout June.
The Cudahy housing market is somewhat competitive. The average Cudahy house price was up 33.3% since last year.
