# Overview

Southgate is a neighborhood on Milwaukee's south side [city-neighborhood-map]. Leon's Frozen Custard, at 3131 South 27th Street, is inside its boundary [city-neighborhood-map].

# Notes

The name "Southgate" and the boundary come from the City of Milwaukee neighborhood map, checked 2026-11-01; OpenStreetMap uses the same name. The point above is the center of that boundary. No Wikidata item for this neighborhood was found on 2026-11-01, so same_as is empty.
