Profile, Statistics and Indicators

Neighborhood Description:	Flanked by two retail shopping centers, Northside Town Center and Northgate, this suburban neighborhood has the elements of a walkable neighborhood. Residents can walk to the nearby retail centers for basic services such as dry cleaning, prescriptions, pet care, and food (numerous restaurants and grocers) as well as family-fun places such as the branch library, several neighborhood parks, and Warner Park. A new bicycle connection, Sherman Flyer, is planned to improve the connection from the Northside to Downtown Madison. The North Transfer Metro Station is located nearby for residents to access the bus system and a proposed commuter rail system stop is planned at Dane County Airport. Sherman Neighborhood is a post-World War II suburb of predominately single-family homes. The area south of Vahlen was built-up during the 1930s-1940s. One-story and one-and-a-half-story modest Cape Cod home is a typical housing style. Ranch style homes built in the 1950s and 1960s are typical for the area north of Melrose Street. Sherman Middle School and Shabazz High School are located within in the neighborhood. Madison Area Technical College Annex and Campus are nearby.
