About the Upper East Side
The Upper East Side neighborhood of Milwaukee is a small section of the larger East Side neighborhood, known for its high density of students and wealthier families. It's not uncommon for a local, particularly those who live in other sections of the city, to refer to the "fashionable" East Side, sometimes with a tone of irony, because many denizens of this neighborhood often think of it as being the only one there is.
The upper East Side is largely residential, although the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee lies one block to its north, and Oakland Avenue, which makes up the neighborhood's western border, is also a lively commercial thoroughfare. This proximity to campus and nightlife creates an ongoing battle between area homeowners and the constant rotation of college students, who, experiencing life on their own for the first time, are often forgetful when it comes to practicing neighborly etiquette. With the housing stock an almost perfect split between single and multi-families, it doesn't look as if either side will be getting ahead any time soon.
