Cudahy's typical home value sits at $292,625 as of April 30, 2026. That is $161 more than neighboring St. Francis and about $2,500 less than Brown Deer. Few pairs of Milwaukee County markets are priced this close together, which makes Cudahy easy to benchmark: it trades in a tight band with its south shore and near-suburb peers.
The growth numbers stand out more than the price tag. Values rose 5.1% over the past year and 38.7% over five years. That five-year figure is nearly double the pace of St. Francis, its closest peer by price, over the same window.
Against the wider county, Cudahy is a below-median market. The typical value runs about $101,600 under Milwaukee County's $394,258 median, placing the city 15th of 19 municipalities ranked by typical value.
Position first: 15 of 19 in Milwaukee County by typical value, roughly 26% below the county median and about 36% below the seven-county region median of $455,834. The immediate peer set is tight — West Allis at $278,519, St. Francis at $292,464, Brown Deer at $295,131, and South Milwaukee at $310,121. Cudahy sits in the middle of that cluster.
Trajectory: the one-year gain of 5.1% and five-year gain of 38.7% both point up, though past appreciation does not guarantee future results. Cudahy's single tracked ZIP code, 53110, shows a typical value of $285,384 — a few thousand under the citywide figure — with typical rent of $1,367.
On the income side, citywide typical rent is $1,376 per month, which works out to a gross rent yield of 5.64% against the typical home value. Gross yield is before taxes, insurance, maintenance, and vacancy, so treat it as a screening number, not a return.
| ZIP code | Typical home value | 1-year change | Typical rent |

| Homes sold (arms-length, single-family) | 214 |
|---|---|
| Median sale price | $276,150 |

Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 214 single-family homes sold in Cudahy, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $276,150. Half of those sales fell between $229,250 and $324,750. 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 Cudahy is $292,625, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $276,150 — a difference of -5.6%. 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, Cudahy offers a sub-$300,000 entry point in a county where the median municipality runs $394,258. The practical comparison shopping happens within about a $32,000 band: West Allis is roughly $14,000 cheaper, South Milwaukee about $17,500 more. Because these markets are priced so close, condition and specific street matter more than which side of a municipal line you land on. Budget against the 53110 ZIP figure of $285,384 as a realistic mid-point.
For sellers, the 5.1% one-year gain means comparable sales from even nine months ago likely understate today's market. Pricing off stale comps is the main risk in a market moving this fast. A seller can also point to the five-year record — 38.7% — when a buyer questions whether the price reflects the area. That said, list-price strategy should come from current comparable sales, not trend lines, and no outcome can be guaranteed.
Cudahy stretches along the Lake Michigan bluff on Milwaukee County's south shore, where Sheridan Park and neighboring Warnimont Park give it a long run of county parkland with bluff-top trails, a golf course, and lake overlooks. Packard Avenue forms the city's traditional commercial spine, with Pulaski Park and its pool adding green space inland. General Mitchell International Airport lies directly west, and I-794 runs north toward downtown Milwaukee.
