About Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Milwaukee is an exciting, safe and manageable urban city located along one of the most beautiful stretches of lakefront in the Midwest. Large enough to offer world class cultural, arts and sporting options, Milwaukee is also small enough to navigate and personal enough to make friends. Milwaukee is only one hour north of the city of Chicago. It is the largest city in Wisconsin, and the 25th largest city in the United States, with a population of approximately 573,000 people.

Milwaukee is home to one of the best ranked municipal parks systems in the nation, featuring hiking and biking trails, places to swim, golf courses, botanical gardens, wilderness areas and more. The lakefront is home to the world-famous Summerfest music festival, as well as a host of popular ethnic festivals celebrating diversity and difference. Major league baseball and basketball teams, natural history and art museums, a ballet company, many live theaters, a symphony orchestra, and critically acclaimed restaurant offerings are just a few of the reasons why Milwaukee is such a great place to live.
