Moving to Milwaukee WI in 2024: Pros & Cons | Must See Before You Move!

[@EROMovers]

Milwaukee has so much to offer, and this video covers it all! The pros and cons really help give a balanced view, especially for those considering a move. As movers based in Wisconsin, we know firsthand how important it is to find the right city for your lifestyle - and Milwaukee has something for everyone. Thanks for breaking it down so well!

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

Thank you, I love visiting Milwaukee!~

[@coldinwisconsin2017]

Milwaukee has a LOT of great companies, festivals, activities and very few neighborhoods I'd EVER want to live in. That being said, most of the suburbs of Milwaukee are FANTASTIC, especially when you get into lake country in western Waukesha county.

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

Hi Thank you for your input, I always enjoy visiting Milwaukee and love all the neighborhoods, I find all of them friendly, Recently visited a Hispanic Bakery and she gave me the Baked good " A little Piggy" because I didn't have cash on me!

[@coldinwisconsin2017]

@@wheretolivewisconsin I agree there are nice people in every neighborhood. There are also not so nice people. As a real estate agent with people on this video talking about moving to Milwaukee, you’d be doing people a disservice making everything seem great. My opinion is only my opinion: I don’t want to live in the city proper; BUT most areas (not all) are perfectly safe to live in.

I love Wisconsin! Was born in Milwaukee and grew up in the west suburbs of Chicago. I moved to Wisconsin back in 1986 at the age of 24. Zero opportunity for growth in Chicago, but gained a skill set in Wisconsin. Seven generations of family here. Actually, I remain in the same county as my ancestors of four generations. It’s a wonderful life here in Wisconsin.

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

Me too! What kind of videos would you like to see?

[@maryrudelich9000]

@ More on Milwaukee. Our infrastructure is great, unlike most cities in the U.S. Wisconsin has that family vibe which is great to see and experience. Tons of fun and interesting things to do year round. Microsoft is breaking ground in Mount Pleasant for an AI manufacturing complex. There’s just so much opportunity for establishing your roots and growth and prosperity in Wisconsin.

So glad I found your channel! I may relocate to the area for work and just want an overall feel of the area.

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

Glad to hear it! let me know how I can help!

[@Casual_Talk]

Thank you for the video. My wife and I are looking into moving around Milwaukee. Specifically Milwaukee county for our kids, job opportunities, and better quality of life. We're currently residents of SC and looking to leave in a few years.

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

Thank you for watching my channel! let me know if I can help you transition to wisconsin!

[@ElBaron42]

I come from Germany and would really like to emigrate to the USA, which I will probably do in the future and Wisconsin is my dream state because, as I see it, it has similar four seasons to Germany and gives a neutral impression and I am a Harley Davidson fan 😊 👍

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

I have heard Germany is similar to Wisconsin. Haven't been there yet!

[@hayleyyjay]

We’re moving from CA and we’re so scared. We love our home but we’ve been forcibly pushed out by corporate greed and poor management. We’re looking for a safe place to land and raise our family. We’re looking at bay view neighborhood!

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

Would you like me to connect you with an agent I know in the Milwaukee market?

[@hayleyyjay]

@@wheretolivewisconsin we’re looking to rent for the first year but I’ll never refuse a contact!

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

Hi Hayley, If you want to privately message me your contact information or email me [e-mail] I will connect you with someone I trust, perhaps they can help you find a rental too!, let me know a little more about your house needs thanks

When you settle in, just remember you’re not in California anymore. I live in Texas and too many Californians move here and want to make it exactly like Cali. It’s not Cali. You left Cali for a reason. Leave the negatives in Cali .

[@daviddonahue1862]

Somehow im missing that part of milwaukee, lived here 60yrs....thanks for sharing your vid

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

What else can I share on Milwaukee?

[@reneperrin1628]

Whitefish Bay, used to be on the east side of Milwaukee. It is now in Waukesha, west of the city. Was there a landslide???

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

Mistakes on my part.. Glad you are paying attention

[@reneperrin1628]

@@wheretolivewisconsin sorry for poking a bit of fun. We all make mistakes. Me more than most

[@crazydave2825]

Been in Milwaukee Metro area most of my life. Your comments are mostly accurate (Whitefish Bay is in Milwaukee County, not Waukesha:). It's a major league city with awesome entertainment year round including pro basketball/baseball along with great NCAA basketball at Marquette, plus all the festivals at Summerfest grounds. Lake Michigan is an excellent water source and year round world class fishery. Taxes and schools in suburbs tend to be more favorable. Crime not an big issue once you know the areas to avoid. With warming temps, winters don't compare to what they used to be. Just lean into it with proper clothing and enjoy all the outdoor winter activities - hiking, snowshoeing, XC skiing etc.

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

I love spending the day in the 3rd ward shopping and antiquing Great city

[@regantichnell4063]

How about good areas to live 20-30 minutes outside of the city? Any good suburban areas? Maybe Waukesha?

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

waukesha is a great suburban area

[@hayleyyjay]

Thank you for the content!

any city you want covered? thank you for watching

Im looking to do business in Milwaukee and a Canadian any tips. Looks nice looks like there is lots to do.

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

There is! If you are looking to move to Milwaukee or purchase a business let me know I can help refer you!

[@BigMaria-v9q]

What do you think of greenfield and I’m single mother of 6

[@debbielerner2715]

WOW....SOS... Born and raised in M'waukee... Southside and borderline West Allis. I've lived in CA and the last 10 years in LA. I'm looking for somewhere to retire and my heart strings are calling me home but not sure just where ... Sooo much has changed since I moved in 1976. Not looking to buy a house ... can you advise ..... Thank You so much ...

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

I guess it depends on what amenities you want near by.

[@debbielerner2715]

@wheretolivewisconsin well...not rural because I'm 70....so I guess an area that is safer with shopping, restaurants, community life....

[@michaelbencomo1199]

How are the smaller cities like La Crosse or Bangor for a POC?

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

I find Midwesterners very welcoming & friendly

[@trooper40below]

Whitefish Bay isn’t in Waukesha County and I believe Ozaukee County is the most expensive county. Could be wrong on that, but Whitefish Bay isn’t in Waukesha County.

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

YOu are right it is in Milwaukee county

[@macysogorg1]

I’m from Indianapolis , I’m planning to move there for when I go to college

Thinking about moving to milwaukee WI. Is it still cold like many years ago I was there it used to be very cold . How is the weather now in winter ,How is the job market . Any info

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

TWo months of cold, some winters not a lot of snowfall. Lots of job allow you to work remote or hybrid, great redevelopment in Third ward

[@MarkJohnson-Seer]

Moving to Appleton in 3 weeks! Apartment renting before I buy. All the neighborhoods good?

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

Appleton is very safe, if you want a neighborhood atmosphere or be closer to amenities?

[@MarkJohnson-Seer]

@@wheretolivewisconsin For now, just something cheap, under $800 a month for a studio or one bedroom. Offstreet parking and laundry on the premises. Near 41 & 96.

Isn’t there an “L” in Milwaukee??

[@RaviRajput-sv6dm]

Is it easy to get jobs in milwaukee for international students

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

[@RichGuillen]

What about job market?

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

unemployment in milwaukee is lower than national average, 3.3, 8 Fortune 500 companies, strong commitment to city revitatlization

[@deannarounds134]

So, do you pronounce Milwaukee as MIL Wauk ee or Ma wauk ee?

[@domgia9248]

I've heard from a few recruiters from Milwaukee about jobs, but I don't want to die so I'll pass

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

I think Milwaukee has lots of opportunity

[@waderichard6425]

Welcome to the armpit of Wisconsin

[@wheretolivewisconsin]

Every area has its plusses

[@xoundsbythimo4614]

Just watch the milwaukee news and you will think twice about moving there.

[@crazydave2825]

Once you know areas to avoid it's not an issue. Like all big cities there are some negatives.

[@tod8205]

I live in Milwaukee 12yrs now. I encourage families to look where Milwaukee ranks for violent crimes in the US before moving here.

[@daviddonahue1862]

Why would anyone move here? 😂

[@Zulimozzart]

Because is beautiful ❤ Come to Arizona here it really sucks!

[@perryallan3524]

Because its a lot worse in many other cities in America

[@coldinwisconsin2017]

it's tough to say that about a place that, I'm guessing, you haven't spent any significant amount of time in....if ANY time at all.
