A City Shaped by What It Was Fighting For
Glendale didn’t grow the way most suburbs do, spreading outward from a town center.
It was assembled in 1950, in the middle of Milwaukee’s biggest wave of postwar suburban incorporations, specifically to keep a strip of industrial land along Capitol Drive and Port Washington Road out of Milwaukee’s hands.
The result was a city with an oddly shaped 2.9-square-mile footprint, stretching from the Milwaukee River east to an industrial rail corridor near Green Bay Road, built around a tax base more than around any single neighborhood.
That industrial land didn’t stay industrial for long. When the Schlitz Brewing Company’s grain elevator and surrounding property went vacant, Glendale bought the land itself, cleaned it up, and used tax incremental financing to redevelop it, first as Bayshore Mall, then in a $400 million overhaul that reopened the site in 2006 as Bayshore Town Center, one of the first walkable, mixed-use retail districts in the Milwaukee area. Glendale has kept using that same redevelopment playbook on other old industrial and commercial sites across the city ever since.
Around all that reinvention sits a housing stock that’s mostly what you’d expect from a city built at the leading edge of the 1950s suburban boom: ranch and split-level homes making up the bulk of it, filled in with newer condos and apartments closer to the Bayshore corridor.

What a Traditional Sale in Glendale Actually Costs
For a typical Glendale home valued around $350,000, here’s roughly how a traditional sale compares to a cash sale with us:
Cost or Delay | Traditional Sale | Cash Sale With Us |
Repairs & updates (original 1950s or 60s ranch) | ≈ $24,000 | $0 |
Realtor commission (6%) | ≈ $21,000 | $0 |
Holding costs (3–4 months on market) | ≈ $4,000 | $0 |
Typical time to close | 60–90+ days | As little as 14 days |
A cash sale skips the repairs, skips the commission, and skips the showings, whether the house is an original ranch or a condo near Bayshore.
Why Glendale Homeowners Sell to Us
Whatever’s driving the decision, we’ve probably helped someone in Glendale through the exact same thing:
- Inherited a ranch or split-level that’s been in the family since the 1950s or 60s boom
- Facing foreclosure or a pending sheriff’s sale
- Selling the house during a divorce
- Filing for bankruptcy and worried about the house
- A house that needs major repairs or has open code violations
- Downsizing out of a long-time family home
- Job loss or financial pressure building up
- A problem tenant or an eviction in progress
- A condo or rental property near Bayshore that’s become more trouble than it’s worth
“My parents bought their ranch off Green Bay Road back when Bayshore was still just an old mall, long before the Town Center. After they passed, none of us wanted to deal with fixing up a forty-year-old kitchen just to list it. Derek had a number for us in two days, and we closed within a month.” – Karen D., Glendale, WI

Quick Facts & History: Glendale, WI
Glendale incorporated as a city on December 28, 1950, with about 3,100 residents, at the leading edge of Milwaukee County’s postwar wave of suburban incorporations.
The new city covered just 2.9 square miles in an oddly shaped footprint, stretching from the Milwaukee River east to an industrial rail corridor near Green Bay Road, built specifically to capture industrial tax base along Capitol Drive and Port Washington Road.
When the Schlitz Brewing Company’s grain elevator and surrounding land went vacant, Glendale bought and remediated the site itself rather than let a developer’s strip-mall plan go forward.
The city used tax incremental financing to redevelop that land, first as Bayshore Mall and then, in a $400 million project completed in 2006, as Bayshore Town Center.
Glendale has continued using TIF districts to redevelop other aging industrial and commercial sites across the city since.
As of the 2020 census, Glendale’s population was 12,919.
