Our Community
Southeastern Wisconsin offers the best of Midwest living including theater and concert performances, fine dining, upscale shopping, as well as an active sports scene that includes the Milwaukee Brewers, Bucks, and Admirals. The cities of Madison, Green Bay, and Chicago are easily accessible. Unlike many cities, our beaches, sports, fishing, sailing, and biking/hiking trails are all part of the urban mix. Here you can enjoy a summer season of festivals and outdoor dining, complimented by a winter of spectacular performing arts and snow sports.
