I have been living in Brookfield ever since I was 5 and I love it! It has the highest rated academics in Wisconsin. There are so many job opportunities because of the abundance of restaurants, movie theaters, and shopping centers. It is also the perfect distance from multiple lakes and county/state parks.
I love Brookfield, everyone is super friendly and there is a lot to do. I work in Brookfield at Culver's and I rarely have rude guests and I even know our regulars by name. There is a farmers market on the weekends right next to the public library and my family and will bike there in the summer. It is so much fun and we always see someone we know. When the weather is nice I always go to the parks or lakes with my friends and there is many hiking trails that we love to check out. I really like the dog parks, where I bring my puppy so he can play with other dogs and get out all of his energy. In the beginning of summer the middle schools always have fairs with rides and games which are a great way to start of the summer. Also Brookfield is not to far from Milwaukee so I go there once in a while with friends and family. Overall, Brookfield is the ideal place to live.
Pretty nice for a suburb. Very lively with all the young families. The homes might be a bit pricy, but that's how good it is. The city as a whole is around the middle to upper-middle class I believe. There's a wide variety to shop in and around Brookfield (there's also a Costco near by). Something funny, I guess, is I think Brookfield's one of the better neighborhoods in this area since people make a big deal about it when something happens in Brookfield. But you could say that it's pretty safe here.
