Downtown Milwaukee Living

[UWW2MU]

While true, that fact is also misleading when compared to many other metro's.  The way it is measured is affected more by where municipal and census borders are, rather than a true measurement when comparing one metro to another.

Yeah, but it's highly segregated.....literally and figuratively.

I can't imagine it's considerably more segregated than Chicago when it comes to crime.

Milwaukee is the most segregated city in the US, not for nothing.

The young resident doctor asks for assistance in living in Milwaukee and the typical scoop trend of hijacking the thread leads to Chicago, airplane flights, census and segregation.  Maybe those who are familiar, that have not yet responded, can help her out. 

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Maybe she's studying abnormal psychology.   This place is a petri dish of lunatics.

Before I moved to Chicago 8 years ago I lived in Bay View and loved it. It's still my favorite neighborhood I have I have ever lived in. I've lived on the Upper East Side near Lake Park / Downer & Marquette in Milwaukee and Bucktown, Logan Square and now Avondale in Chicago.

If I were to ever live in back in Milwaukee again it's where I would live no doubt.

I'm upper 20s and rented in Bayview when I graduated. Wife and I bought cheap in the burbs to build equity, but always wanted to get back. After we had our first kid, finally found the place to buy back in Bayview. If schooling works out (Montessori) we may never leave

This place is the internet version of MASH(movie not TV show).....and Chicos is 100% Frank Burns

I think I resemble Painless in that most crucial way for which he was justifiably renowned around the camp and what was the source of his agony.

Thanks, the thread seems to be a little off track!

I'm leaning towards renting at least for the next or two.

If you are going downtown or at least that area I'd recommend renting for sure. Lot of inventory in the area that makes buying unattractive short term (unless you think you'll be ther 10-15 years or something).

I'm curious if anyone here lives in downtown Milwaukee, what do you like and dislike about it? Being a single 28 yr old woman I feel like downtown living would be more enjoyable than Tosa where I currently rent. Ideally I'd like to live somewhere along the river downtown.

Take a careful look at the East side area Prospect Avenue Lake front High rise etc .  Lots of good places to live at an economical price and you will have easy access to everything.

Never fails...

There is a near-downtown neighborhood that puts you squarely in the middle of Brady Street, Fiserv Forum, the East Side, and Riverwest.  Mine.  It's the neighborhood along Commerce St near Lakefront Brewery, and I love it.  I'll park the car on Friday and not use it again until Monday.  It's a long walk, but MU games are reachable on foot.  A river runs through it.  Great neighbors of all ages; two new apartment buildings have brought in the younger generation (I'm 50). 

It's the city.  It can be noisy sometimes, you don't leave valuables in your car, if you walk at night, walk with a purpose.  But I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the Mil.

Aka the neighborhood that brings you as close as possible to points east pub.

[Oldgym]

Well yeah, goes without saying.

[Eldon]

Walker's Point (fifth ward) is heavily gentrified, and yet closer to downtown than Bay View.

[mudeltaforcegurl]

I'm leaning towards the area near Commerce Street and Lakefront Brewery. It's really been built up since I last lived in Milwaukee.

[BM1090]

When moving to the city the goal is alway to live as close to points east pub as possible

Live near Milwaukee and Juneau. East Town area. Love it. Stadium, bars, restaurants all walkable. Points East included.
