Living Here

Milwaukee's strengths are in its contrasts. Here you will find a community that takes pride in its history as an international brewing and manufacturing mecca, but has also grown into an exciting and cosmopolitan 21st century city. With nearly every neighborhood just 15 minutes or less from downtown, it's easy for Milwaukee's nearly 700,000 residents to congregate on the restaurant-lined Riverwalk, catch a top-name concert at the historic Pabst Theater, watch a movie along the lakefront while partaking in Wisconsin's traditional fish fry, enjoy the world renowned Milwaukee Art Museum, spend an evening with the Floretine Opera Company or Milwaukee Ballet, root for one of the city's many collegiate and professional sports teams, experience the living landmark of the Mitchell Domes Horticultural Conservatory, kayak or canoe along the Milwaukee River, shop at the locally-owned boutiques in the Historic 3rd Ward, or simply take a stroll along one of the many urban hiking trails.

In Milwaukee, the possibilities are endless—it is truly "the good land."
