Locust Court is a 24-story high-rise overlooking the Milwaukee River and the Riverwest neighborhood. The building offers residents easy access to many neighborhood amenities, including public transportation, coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, parks and the natural wonders of the Milwaukee River. Completed in 1969, Locust Court offers 230 1-bedroom apartments with spectacular views of the city.
This property is funded through HUD’s Public Housing program. These properties are typically owned and managed by a Public Housing Authority. These properties tend to be much older, as no new public housing has been built in many years. Since the Federal budget has historically (and notoriously) underfunded public housing renovations for decades, these properties tend to have higher vacancies due to uninhabitable units or liveable units that are in poor condition. In addition, since all public housing properties offer rent subsidies, low-income residents only pay rent based on their incomes. For that reason, these properties tend to have longer waiting lists. Check our public housing waiting list data for more information. Since Locust Court participates in the Public Housing program and has a property based subsidy, if you have a Section 8 voucher, you would have to give up your voucher to move in.
