I Absolutely Love Living in Whitefish Bay 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) I love raising my family in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin! This place has it all. A suburb of Milwaukee, but it still has a great sense of community.

Many call this area quaint, but I call it heaven. It is a safe area, with relatively very little crime. My children absolutely love ...Read More the schools that they attend here. I know that by living in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin they are getting a top notch educational experience. They attend Whitefish Bay Middle and Richards Elementary and the teachers and administration are wonderful!

The best areas in Whitefish bay, Wisconsin are any areas in which you can catch a view of beautiful Lake Michigan. Being that we are right on the lake, recreational opportunities are endless. If you enjoy shopping, then you will more than enjoy the strip malls located on Silver Spring.

This community is a slice of heaven. There is always something to do in this area. The people are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. Did I mention the views are fantastic? Read Less
