Current Resident: Elm Grove is a beautiful village tucked inside a pocket of larger suburbs of Milwaukee. It is walkable and has that quaint "small town" feel that is hard to come by these days while being super close to great schools, shopping, freeway, etc.... Read 23 reviews

Current Resident: One of Wisconsin's best kept secrets! Thiensville has or is close to all the big city bells and whistles while still maintaining that special small town feeling. My wife and I like to call it "Mayberry" because everyone is so friendly. Police get to know everyone in the village and everyone's car, which is great when it comes to spotting people who don't live in the area late at night. The fire department runs a truck through the community on Halloween handing out candy to the kids, and that truck is often seen at neighborhood block parties! Close to hospitals, major shopping and freeways but no close enough to freeways to hear the noise! Our fireworks on the 4th (actually the weekend before the 4th of July) are perhaps the best in Ozaukee County! Festivals...farmers market... fishing...I could go on and on, but you get the idea! Homes here tend to run 15-20 per cent less than Mequon and while most are older, they are just as nice, many with large yards.... Read 17 reviews

Current Resident: River Hills is a small suburb of Milwaukee. Its location is ideal because it only takes a few minutes to drive into the city but its still secluded to the point where there are no loud traffic noises and it feels like a neighborhood. Many of the houses are very expensive and gorgeous. There are occasionally town events but everyone mainly does their own thing.... Read 2 reviews

Current Resident: I’ve lived in the area for a few months now in the Wind Meadows neighborhood. We’ve felt very welcome with neighbors stopping to introduce themselves and bringing wine :) This quickly has become my favorite area I’ve ever lived in. Quick walk to Lake Michigan and great amenities in the neighborhood. Area is very quite and safe and feels like it’s a 100 miles away from a metro area. Only downside is you have to drive everywhere if you need something. Other than that I would highly recommend the area.... Read 2 reviews

Current Resident: Mequon is a very cute city. It is closely connected to Thiensville, which is a smaller town bordering Mequon. All of our schools are in the Mequon-Thiensville School District, so it is easily accessible, with bus access to every school. We have multiple coffee shops and small restaurants in the area, as well as grocery stores. It is an extremely safe area, but in case of an unsafe circumstance, our police and fire departments are close-by and extremely responsive. Overall, there are many opportunities to meet new people and feel at home. There really isn't much I would change other than the housing options are very pretty, but very expensive. If the cost was lowered a bit, I think we would be able to spread more diversity in our area, which would be beneficial.... Read 46 reviews

Current Resident: I am 22 years old and I have spent all 22 years of my life living in Pewaukee. My parents also were born and raised in the city/village of Pewaukee. Pewaukee itself I believe is the perfect size. It has areas of interest close (such as grocery stores and shopping centers) but it also has many neighborhoods that are not too busy nor too loud. I love the location of Pewaukee as well as Madison (a great place to visit) is just about an hour and Milwaukee (another great place along with an airport) is only about 25 miles away.

Current Resident: We have lived here for almost 10 yrs and I fall in love with it more here every year. The parks and trails are amazing. The local businesses are top notch. The local politicians go the extra mile to innovate and develop the city for the next generation and community involvement in local initiatives is high. Our police officers do an outstanding job of serving and conducting community outreach programs. The racial, ethnic, and religious diversity is high. Politics here are moderate and we really listen to all sides of issues over a fire and a beer. Schools are top notch. Housing prices have a wide range, from $170K-$600K to suit many budgets. 12 minute commute to downtown.
