# Overview

Town of Lake is a neighborhood on Milwaukee's far south side [city-neighborhood-map]. The Packing House, at 900 East Layton Avenue, is inside its boundary [city-neighborhood-map].

# Notes

The name "Town of Lake" 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.
