Living in Milwaukee: Wauwatosa

[@dianeheron2352]

I grew up there in the 50s and 60s. Great childhood. My dad helped build The Zoo and Mayfair Shopping center.

Show the western side of Wauwatosa as well from 92 to 124 st- those houses are beautiful

[@MarcusMKE]

Yes! That is a younger part of Tosa that was built 40-50 years later with a lot of mid-century ranches and easy access into Brookfield and Tosa shopping!

[@Alisa-b4u]

@@MarcusMKE Yes, exactly a very beautiful area.

[@J_Jim-mo3ub]

This highlights a lot of the east side and central tosa but doesn’t do a fantastic job of also showing off the west side. You mentioned earlier in the video how if you wanted a bigger yard tosa may not be best for you. However the west side of tosa has some very nice property’s with larger yards, mine and my neighborhood included.

I love the German accents in architecture in Milwaukee. I visited this summer, finding a place for my professional son's new job. He settled for Wauwatosa.

Nice! Welcome to Milwaukee! Appreciate your comment.

[@ItsAlwaysSunnyWithK8]

These are great videos, thanks for making this!

Thanks for taking the time to comment! Just working on the next one ;-) Let me know if you want me to cover specific topics! And feel free to email me if you have specific questions: [e-mail]

I live in an apartment on a Milwaukee Street in the Wauwatosa area. This is near the Wisconsin Lutheran College and medical complexes. The Highway 100 (Mayfair) and State Street areas are rather nice for shopping. If you want a newer apartment like in The Aspire or State Street Station, it will be at least $1,500-$2,000 starting for a 1-bedroom. Older apartments may be at about half that rate. The term "Mayfair" as in Mayfair Mall is named for a wealthy residential and commercial district in London, England. I agree with most of the assessments in this video. There have been some social issues related to police shootings and the Wauwatosa Police Department, but for the most part, I think this is a good place for people to raise a family if they can afford it.

[@MarcusMKE]

Thanks Jeff! I appreciate your perspective and local insights! Those rents are very high, the Mayfair reserve is another 5 star apartment building there - they offer a lot of included amenities and the facilities are really nice, but they sure make you pay for it! That is pretty much a house payment for an average Tosa home!

[@chronictwister]

those prices are crazy! I'm glad I left Wisconsin before prices got that crazy

[@luxembros6791]

I am a kid growing up in Wauwatosa. Best place in the world.

[@MarcusMKE]

Thanks for your comment! What do you like about Tosa? Anything you don't like? (outside school of course.. ;-)

[@luxembros6791]

@@MarcusMKE It’s great to bike with friends to the village and get food, and everything is close to where I live.

[@erickovacevich1]

Great detail in this video!

[@MarcusMKE]

Glad you liked it Eric! It was a fun one to make!

_I would like to see options for penthouses in downtown Milwaukee, third Ward or Bay view, in this channel. I'm interesting in move to Milwaukee and see options specifically in the center of the city_

[@MauiTheBengalCat]

Why wouldn't you check the suburbs? Even though Wauwatosa is beautiful, it borders on not the best areas....

[@MarcusMKE]

El Rafa'S - I will probably make a downtown video, but usually I don't show too much of the inside of properties out of respect for the owners privacy - current and future. But what I can do is send you some curated listings to take a look at: email me at [e-mail]

[@jaslenelove7008]

@@MauiTheBengalCat Maybe they don't want to live in the very racist and segregated suburbs. That's exactly how it is. This is from someone who lives in between Milwaukew and Wauwatosa. Extremely segregated place. Hispanics on the south, whites on the east... Sad

[@americatoandhra7757]

We are relocating to Milwaukee next month and I have seen all your videos at least 3 time each (watched full video every time)

[@MarcusMKE]

OMG I did not realize I was under so much scrutiny 😁 - feel free to reach out, as you know we are here to help! Thanks for watching and welcome to MKE!!

[@submrao78]

I am also relocating to Milwaukee in another 3 months ..Do we have Indian grocery stores in wauwatosa?

[@ems3832]

Stay clear of Milwaukee. NOT a safe area to live. Crime and riff-raff are out of control!

[@jimmylegs06]

Wauwatosa has gotten a bad rap the past year+ due to some social issues. Those were isolated incidents and not indicative of this incredible city.

[@MarcusMKE]

Thanks Jimmylegs - it's still an urban setting and every city experiences stuff like that. I always try to be objective, that's why I brought in some comments and data on crime, but it's not always easy to be spot on; also depends on your point of view I guess. Appreciate your comment!

[@jekku4688]

Tosa is definitely amazing, and very charming, but is also becoming more and more left leaning, so bear that in mind. BLM, et al, have held rallies here too.

[@ems3832]

Correct. Best to avoid the entire area, to be honest. Too much crime and too much riff-raff...

[@ems3832]

It's NOT what it used to be! Now, crime and riff-raff have taken over, unfortunately....
