Milwaukee is only about 20 minutes away. It’s a safe area, one where you can walk at night and not worry about crime in the streets.
There’s nothing to do here, but everything you need is 10-20 away.
I’d advise AGAINST moving to Deer Creek in the city center, as the police are there for disturbances 1-2 times a WEEK. The apartments are poorly constructed, you can hear everything above, below, outside. Management does not care at all about noise complaints, nor do they pretend to. Neighbors fighting or playing loud rap music at 12 am? “It’s apartment living.” There are plenty of nicer places nearby.

Would give 3.5 stars. Lived here for a few months. Safe area, plenty of restaurants, some places to shop. Am not familiar with schools, but seems a family friendly place to raise kids, or retire. Not a walkable area; you need a car. Commute to downtown is horrible for work or school. I commuted to UW Milwaukee for college, took about an hour. There are some parks and more wooded areas that would be nice for nature-lovers or biking. Politically seems conservative or right-leaning moderate. Not the most diverse, but not a bubble either. Would not recommend for a college student or young adult who wants to meet other young people or enjoy a nightlife; the area is mostly older folks or young families. Not a bad place to live by any means, just not the most exceptional, interesting, or relevent area for an up and starting young person in college or career.
There are many opportunities to apply yourself to hobbies or careers that spike your interest. The high schools do an excellent job of opening their students up to high-paying careers such as engineering and healthcare classes. With New Berlin being so close to Milwaukee, you can enjoy a day at the beach or downtown.
