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.
New Berlin is an average town. In New Berlin, there are basic places. Restaurants, churches, schools, businesses, and more are in New Berlin. To me, the places in a town don't define it. The memories in one's town are much more important. Despite the boring streets that all look the same, I was raised in this town. I played at Malone Park my whole childhood. As a teen, I spent summer nights playing beach volleyball there. I had my first coffee at the Starbucks in New Berlin. Now, I am a weekly visitor to this Starbucks. I went to high school in this town, creating the best memories. New Berlin reminds me of summer memories all throughout high school with my best friend. Swimming in my friends' secret quarry is also what I think of when I think off my town. Despite the subpar nature of New Berlin, our town is what you make it. I have made it great.
New Berlin is a small community, with that being said there are well over 50,000 residents, but everyone stays connected. the police come immediately when needed, but they can also pests from 10pm-5am, they do a great job when needed but are too focused on small crimes. They will arrest and book you for city ordinance tickets, excessive if you ask me. But all In all if you have a family with children this is the place to be! No criminal activity has a chance.
