Emerson East

Beautiful Family-Friendly Neighborhood
The Emerson area is a safe, friendly, and diversified community full of about 2100 people in about 1000 houses and apartment units, located about 3 ½ miles northeast of downtown Madison.

The walkable tree-lined streets, expansive parks, and a selection of local restaurants are just a few amenities. Hop outdoors at Demetral Field where there are paved walking paths, playgrounds, sand volleyball courts, and a baseball field. East High Athletic Field and tennis courts. Attached is a half-acre enclosed dog park. To start your day, head to Ogden’s North Street Diner.

Further south down North Street, stop at Dexter’s Pub to enjoy a refreshing craft beer while enjoying pub food. In warmer months, dip in lakes in Monona and Mendota, with neighborhood beaches and other swimming options. Emerson East is accompanied by two elementary schools, two middle schools, and two high schools.

Emerson East — 7/10 Rating (based on 3 neighborhood reviews)
Perfect neighborhood for us, only giving it an 8 because if I was a young person who cared about nightlife I might think it was a little far from downtown, but we picked something quieter/more family friendly on purpose!
