What it’s like to live in Upper East Side

Lake Michigan views wow from high-rises near Bradford Beach. Renters enjoy rooftop pools but note $200+/month parking fees in most buildings. Summer crowds overwhelm North Avenue sidewalks, while icy lake winds challenge winter commutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

City Guide for Milwaukee, WI

"Beer built this city, but there is so much more to Milwaukee." (-Jewel, "The Milwaukee Song").

Milwaukee’s one of those incredible cities that everyone who doesn’t live here forgets about. Chalk that intentional amnesia up to the faded glory days of major brewers Schlitz and Miller. Insiders know there’s still a heck of a lot of folks here. Grew up in the northern suburbs but want a change of pace? Move to East Town. Accepted to Marquette’s Ph.D. program in Chemical Engineering but don’t really feel like living in studentville? Try Avenues West. There’s a place for everybody in Cream City; but you still have to look for it. View Milwaukee City Guide
