The typical home in Bayside, Wisconsin is worth about $564,748 as of 2026-07-03, up 5.1% over the past year and up 27.4% over five years. Source: Zillow Home Value Index, compiled by Sawar Homes.
Among Milwaukee County's North Shore villages, Bayside has quietly posted the strongest five-year number in this data set: 27.4% growth, ahead of Shorewood's 25.1% and Fox Point's 22.0%. Its typical home value stood at $564,748 as of April 30, 2026.
That value ranks fourth of 19 Milwaukee County municipalities and sits about $170,000 — 43% — above the county median of $394,258. The past year added 5.1%.
The margins between Bayside and its neighbors are extraordinarily thin. Shorewood ($566,374) is $1,626 higher; Fox Point ($563,741) is $1,007 lower. For practical purposes the three villages price as one market, with Whitefish Bay ($672,114) about $107,000 above the group.
Bayside's $564,748 typical value carries a premium of roughly $108,900 over the seven-county southeast Wisconsin median of $455,834 — about 24% — on top of the 43% premium over its own county's median. Fourth of 19 is the formal rank; the dollar gaps are the more useful measure.
The growth profile leans long and even. Five-year appreciation of 27.4% implies an annualized pace near 5.0%, and the latest year's 5.1% matched it almost exactly — a market moving at a consistent speed rather than accelerating or cooling. Consistency in past data is not a promise about future data.
No village-level rent figure exists in this data set for Bayside, so yield math here has to borrow from nearby markets — Shorewood's 2.85% gross yield is the closest available reference, with the caveat that it describes a different municipality.

Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 86 single-family homes sold in Bayside, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $526,450. Half of those sales fell between $455,250 and $693,750. Source: Wisconsin Department of Revenue real estate transfer returns, compiled by Sawar Homes — every recorded sale, including for-sale-by-owner and builder-direct transactions that never appear in the MLS.
Zillow’s typical-home-value estimate for Bayside is $564,748, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $526,450 — a difference of -6.8%. These measure different things, and neither is wrong: the index estimates the value of every home whether or not it sold, while the sale figure reflects only the homes that changed hands, which usually skew toward the more affordable end of the market.
For buyers, cross-shopping is the rational default: with Bayside, Shorewood, and Fox Point separated by less than $2,700 at the typical-value level, the municipal line matters less to price than the specific property does. What separates Bayside in the data is trajectory — 27.4% over five years, the strongest of the three — which is context worth knowing, not a forecast to bank on.
Sellers can point to the strongest five-year appreciation among the three near-tied North Shore villages and a fourth-place value rank in a 19-municipality county. The flip side of a $1,000–$1,700 spread against Fox Point and Shorewood is that buyers can walk next door with almost no budget consequence, so pricing discipline against the whole cluster — not just Bayside comps — is the sound approach.
Bayside occupies the wooded northern tip of Milwaukee County's North Shore, with a sliver reaching into Ozaukee County, on bluffs above Lake Michigan. Much of its lakefront belongs to the 185-acre Schlitz Audubon Nature Center, where six miles of trails cross forest, prairie, ponds, and shoreline. Ellsworth Park sits near Village Hall, and Brown Deer Road and I-43 tie the village to the rest of the metro area.
