    Zip code 53715 sits between UW-Madison’s south campus and the shores of Monona Bay, blending Greenbush and Bay Creek’s historic roots with an easygoing, outdoorsy lifestyle. Expect four true seasons—snowy winters, breezy springs, warm lakefront summers, and vibrant fall colors—plus everyday access to Brittingham and Olin parks, the Capital City Trail and SW Commuter Path for biking, and paddle launches for kayaking and SUP. The scene leans local: Willy Street Co-op South and Pick ’n Save cover groceries; gyms and yoga studios line South Park Street; Lakeside St. Coffee House fuels the coffee culture; Taqueria Guadalajara, Regent Street game-day spots, and nearby taprooms keep the dining and brewery scene lively; and the Kohl Center brings year-round events. With major medical centers at Meriter and SSM Health St. Mary’s, frequent Madison Metro service, and quick John Nolen Drive/Beltline connections, it is commuter friendly. Recent Zillow market trends show a mid-to-upper $1,000s median rent, with most listings ranging from the low $1,000s to upper $2,000s. Pet friendly paths and pocket parks attract grad students, medical staff, and long-timers alike.
