Area Guide

Share Guide

Approximately eight miles northwest of downtown Milwaukee sits the neighborhood of Capital Heights. Two commercial areas lie along Wisconsin Highway 175 and West Capitol Drive, while mid-20th century single-family homes for rent fill the side streets of this mostly residential community.

Capitol Heights residents enjoy spending time at nearby Dineen Park for fishing in the lagoon, playing a round on its disc golf course, or having a picnic under the pavilion. Grab a sandwich at Larry's Hoagies & Bar-B-Que Station, and enjoy the latest bestseller from the Capitol Library before heading over to the park to take in the scenic views. After a long day of work, stop by Irie Palace for an authentic Jamaican meal of Jerk Chicken or Curry Shrimp. On weekend nights, the retro Kitt's Frozen Custard drive-in caters to locals in droves with its savory chocolate custard shakes and banana splits.
