      My family moved from Milwaukee county to Ozaukee county when I was just 5 years old. This decision was probably one of the best decisions that my parents have made for my two brothers and myself. I have spent the last 17 years in this county and I feel safe and comfortable here. There are many shopping center, plenty of great restaurants, and most importantly the schools in Ozaukee county are the best!

      Ozaukee County is a smaller "farming" community that's not too far from Lake Michigan. There are alot of opportunities to enjoy nature on the Interurban Trail that has miles & mile of paved biking, running, walking trails. The famous Ice Age Trail is also very near, and it offers over 30 miles of natures best hiking trails...and that's in the Northern Kettle Moraine segment alone. Let's not forget that there is some of the BEST ICE CREAM in Ozaukee County; made from dairy produced at local farms.
      No change necessary. The counry offers really great parks.
      There are some great school systems. Ozaukee county is a fantastic place to raise a family.
      Very safe, low crime rate, shops and stores are very convenient and close by.
