The area along the shores of Lake Michigan is one of the best areas in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, to live in my opinion.

One of the reasons that I love living in Oak Creek is the diversity of the local economy. Manufacturers still rely on the industrious work ethic of most people in this community to build a variety of things. While people at Bay View Industries makes components for office furniture, very nearby workers at Oak Creek Coatings Plant make aftermarket coatings for automobile parts. Meanwhile, workers at ElderFlag produce the United States flag along with many others.

One of my favorite things about living in Oak Creek is its proximity to major cities allowing me to take advantage of cultural events located there while enjoying living in a community with a small town atmosphere. Our friendly city is part of the Minneapolis and St. Paul metroplex, and it is only 85 miles from Chicago. Read Less
