Start SearchThe Regent Neighborhood is composed of three distinct areas and is a walkable and bikeable neighborhood with easy access to UW campus and hospital. The Regent-Allen Neighborhood Commercial District has a cluster of neighborhood-oriented shops (coffee shop, food co-op, hair saloon) and artistic retail galleries and shops.
University Heights extends from Breese Terrace to Allen Street and from University Avenue south to Regent Street. This area is located close to the University of Wisconsin Madison and is anchored by Camp Randall stadium and fieldhouse. On football Saturdays in the fall, the neighborhood is awash in Badger red and white. The area's curving streets and hilltop views attracted the families of professors and business people.
The area south of Regent Street and extending south to the new Capitol City Bike Path was part of the Wingra Park Addition, platted in 1897. Development began when the streetcar line was extended from Camp Randall to the Forest Hill Cemetery.
The area from Allen Street stretching west between Regent Street. and University Avenue is characterized by comfortable family homes with wide front porches and, quiet tree-lined streets.
Regent Neighborhood is home to two of the finest public schools in Madison: Randall Elementary and West High Schools. Both schools provide the neighborhood with a fun level of liveliness: kids walking to and from school, homecoming parades, and musicals and theater productions at our doorstep.
