    Madison’s 53704 spans the North and Near East Side, from the Yahara River to Cherokee Marsh and Lake Mendota’s north shore, mixing cozy bungalow blocks with creative industrial corridors. Weekends revolve around Warner Park, the Demetral Park dog area, and miles of the Starkweather Creek and Yahara bike paths; paddlers slip into Mendota from local launches, and the Northside Farmers’ Market keeps the community vibe lively. You’ll find everyday errands easy with Willy Street Co‑op North, Hy‑Vee, ALDI, East Towne Mall, and Planet Fitness nearby, plus a low‑key dining scene at Tip Top Tavern, Dexter’s Pub, Smoky Jon’s, and music at North Street Cabaret. Four true seasons define life here—snowy winters, bright springs, warm lake‑breezed summers, and crisp falls—and it’s family‑ and pet‑friendly. Madison College’s Truax campus and Dane County Regional Airport sit close, with quick access to E. Washington Ave and I‑39/90/94. According to Zillow Market Trends (past few months), the median rent sits around $1,550, with most listings roughly $1,200–$2,000.
