When moving to Milwaukee, the most important thing for a person to know is that it is impossible to not fall in love with Lake Michigan. There is nothing quite like walking on the shores of the lake with a coffee- or a beer- in hand, admiring the boats and watching the waves roll in. Despite being in a city, being on Lake Michigan give Milwaukee residents an easy place to escape the noise and reconnect with nature.

Milwaukee is on the large lake known as Lake Michigan with many lakeside attractions, including beaches, parks, pathways for biking and rollerblading and cycling. We also have Summerfest every July, which is a large music festival. We have a wide range of affordable housing from which to choose. We also have a wide variety of industries for employment.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a lovely city on the western shore of Lake Michigan. Bradford Beach attracts many people for recreation. There are kites to rent, an ice cream stand, and a shallow place for wading. People enjoy the beach even in winter. On January 1st, people participate in the “Polar Bear Plunge”. I have never jumped into Lake Michigan in January, but those who do find it to be a life-changing experience!

Bradford beach is another popular spot to go on hot summer days. There are always sand volleyball courts open, tiki shacks to get food and drinks, kayaks, canoes and boats to rent and plenty of open beach space to set down towels and have picnics before jumping in the cold but refreshing lake water. If you go more inland there are many hiking and biking trails that are great exercise because of how hilly they are, which keeps the ride challenging and interesting.
