Big changes are coming to West Mifflin Street, Madison’s best-known student neighborhood

Miffland, as the neighborhood around West Mifflin Street is known, doesn’t look all that different from a half-century ago. Many of the single-family and multifamily houses with distinctive porches, balconies and yards that were built in the late 1800s and early 1900s are still there — and are still sought after by students. But now the way the neighborhood looks is changing, too.
