Finding an Apartment in MilwaukeeMilwaukee, Wisconsin sits right on Lake Michigan and offers great views of the water and of the city. Finding an apartment can be daunting if you are not familiar with the city and the layout. Living downtown is nice, but there are dozens of other options that work too. Think about looking into areas like Greenfield, Shorewood, Fox Point, Wauwatosa, Brookfield, or Elm Grove. Highway 43 and I-94 run right into the downtown zone and offer convenient commute routes if you live in the outlying region. Rent.com and Apartments.com are two great apartment finder websites which should get you started in the right direction. We also strongly suggest you give Craigslist.org a try since that offers some alternative listings not found on other sites. If you look below there are quite a few direct links to apartment complexes websites which offer up to date photos, availability, and contact info. Before you go out to look at any units, drive by the neighborhood first to get a feel for the surrounding areas. Also, call the property or apartment manager to ask questions about pets, floor plans, bathroom sizes, pools, fitness rooms, parking spaces, deposits, etc. Milwaukee is still very reasonable in terms of monthly rents so you should be able to get a quality place that is close in.
The cost of living is moderate in the Milwaukee Metro area, and 1 BR apartments will normally set you back $600 or more per month. Below are listings for some Milwaukee Apartment Rentals.
