Places to live in Milwaukee

[Baldkin]

So, I'm frantically searching for a new place to live in Milwaukee. I'm seriously considering Tosa or West Allis, due to it being closer to my new job, and cheaper.

 

I'm just wondering, where I should be looking, and what area's are no-no's to live in, in and around Miltown. I've only lived and looked on the east side of town so far so I really have no clue.

 

Thanks for any help!

Anything West of 60th and South of I-94., that's my motto.

West Allis is really not that bad, depending on where you end up. Some parts of town live up to the stereotypical Stallis image, but I live there (around 92nd and Greenfield) and I like it just fine.

I live at 97th and Keefe (litle north of Burleigh) and I'm about 2 blocks in the city of Milwaukee limits from Tosa. ( making it cheaper) I like it alot although most of the houses are rather small. With the housing market the way it is you can find alot of homes for sale and CHEAP

i would say more like west of 50th between I94 and washington blvd. i lived on 54 and wisconsin (perfect location) and i currently live on 68th and state st in the Tosa Village. I am very happy with both locations and the cost of living.

If you are looking to own a house, you may want to live in New Berlin. The taxes seem to be much better out there. Well... compared to Greendale they are ;-).

Anything North of Brown Deer Rd. or West of 124th. The further North or West the better is my motto.

Thanks for all the input so far. I'm not looking to buy a house just yet, as I don't know how long I'm going to be in Milwaukee. Just looking for an apartment.

night life is about 4th on my list after being able to walk to the grocery store, parks, restaurants and then bars. also, if you are smart you can find nice places on the east side for a reasonable amount. my one bedroom with heat, water and underground parking is only $640. i personally find living anywhere but the city to be dull. growing up in new berlin and waukesha has left me scared for life.

I just moved to Shorewood after spending 30 years of my life in Tosa. There really isn't a bad place in Tosa, I've lived all over it. If you are looking for drinking, i'd try to get a place reasonably close to 72th and State as that's the "to do" in Tosa.

[Menotti80]

i would say finding a reasonable priced place downtown as a close third to the village of tosa and just northwest of MP.

 

hey blatz, did you give up on tha magic pen game?
