About Bayside
Bayside is a small village located north of Milwaukee along the shore of Lake Michigan. It is primarily residential, with only 4% of its area being zoned for commercial use, and none for industrial.
Originally, the area that makes up Bayside was a part of a few large, turn-of-the century farms. One of these, Nine Mile Farm, belonged to the Uihlein family, owners of Milwaukee's Schlitz Brewery. This farm was used to grow crops, as well as to pasture the brewery's hundreds of workhorses. Today, this former farm is the site of the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center, a 185-acre nature preserve along the shore of Lake Michigan. Beyond the confines of the Center, the village itself retains a high density of wooded area, especially for being so close to an urban center.
While the area that is now Bayside had been populated since the early 1800s, the village itself is relatively new, having formed in 1953. Consequently, much of Bayside's growth appeared after that point as city dwellers started discovering the joys of suburban living. You'll find quite a few spacious '50s and '60s-era ranches in Bayside, as well as older farm houses and a handful of extraordinary mansions in a variety of styles.
