When we decided to build the house of our dreams in southeastern Wisconsin we went on a mission...we research every major decision from where we go on vacation, the car we buy, our investments, etc, and certainly choosing a community...a neighborhood....a lot...was no different.
Initially, my husband would have opted for a community farther west....Delafield, Pewaukee... Waukesha County is dotted with lots of little "burgs" that have their own personalities and local flavors. I was a city gal...born in Milwaukee County and looking at walking to the mailbox as opposed to having it dropped inside the door as a major change in my life. Hmmmm...what to do....can't build two houses....wanting to blend the convenience of a location close to "what's happening" in the City with a little more relaxed atmosphere of the country....we found it...we found it...New Berlin !
New Berlin is the "gateway to Waukesha County"....bordered on the east by 124th Street...the west side of the street is New Berlin and Waukesha County...the east side of the Street is Milwaukee County and could be Hales Corners, Greenfield, West Allis...depends where you are in the city.
New Berlin calls itself..."A Little Bit Country"....and it is that...it was like a Three Bears tale for us...not too much, not too little...Just right ! We still have city water and sewer...no well to dig or septic or mound system....though some people farther west in New Berlin have these kinds of things.
Come and tour the new website....www.NewBerlin.org....they didn't ask me...but you would think they did...I LOVE Purple ! New Berlin is the largest Waukesha County suburb in terms of area with a population 38,220 according to the 2000 census. We have lots of kinds of living options....Condos...Single families are the most of what you will find here with apartments but very few duplexes or four plexes. It is the kind of community where you can go to City Hall and talk to someone who is likely to know you by name...where you can enjoy the farmer's market summer into fall sprawled over the parking lot...visit a tree farm...go to any of several nurseries and greenhouses and choose your favorite annuals and perennials. Enjoy one of the best 4th of July celebrations this part of the state has to offer due to the dedication and pride in the community that the hard working volunteers assemble each year. We have an industrial park with varied kinds of employment...a super park system....and easy access to everywhere...
If you think you may want to make New Berlin your home...give us a call...our home office is at home in New Berlin and we are happy to introduce you to all we have to offer....a little bit country...a lot to enjoy !
Sally and David - very nicely done - can be placed on paper to become a brochure as hand outs.
