Best part of Tisa are all the beautiful parks and the river. Lived here for the past 7 years. Used to be much better. Now too many generic apartment-retail monsters all over the place. Tosa is no longer the city of homes. It is a city of stuffy politicians who have little regard for the citizens they are supposed to serve. Some of the visitors are disrespectful and rude while visiting. If you can’t read the parking signs and park incorrectly, you should get a ticket. There are plenty of signs indicating parking rules, people just need to pay attention. Also, no one is interested in your noise.
This place is a great to live in! It is a little expensive but worth it. Super friendly people and nice housing. If you like local restaurants and places to hangout with friends, this is the place. The Village of Wauwatosa is a very upcoming place and has many exciting things to do. Personal, I love to go to the Farmer's Market in the village in the summer. So many Milwaukee businesses come and bring fresh produce there too. It's a great place to meet neighbors and enjoy yourself! Also Eastern Tosa on North Avenue has many new small businesses that are exciting to go to.
The best place to live in Wisconsin. Historical architecture, great green spaces and awesome schools. Not to mention, 15 minutes from everywhere!
