Milwaukee Area Basics please

Cosette Trantow

Hello everyone,

I have yet to buy my first property. I live in AZ but I’ve been looking in my hometown of Wausau WI. There is very little inventory there and in some areas the property taxes are really high. 
I want to get to know a market with more inventory yet still somewhere in WI so I thought I’d look into Milwaukee. I really don’t know where the good neighborhoods are though.

I would appreciate any basic knowledge of what the decent areas are (I’d love street boundaries since the app I use doesn’t show neighborhoods). Thank you for your help and any information you would like to provide. If it seems like a good market to look in I’ll also be looking for an investor (and newbie) friendly realtor. 
Thank you!

    I personally prefer the tertiary markets surrounding Milwaukee. West Allis, Wauwatosa, Cudahy, Waukesha, to name a few.  There are some trendy neighborhoods in Milwaukee where you can find some decent class A deals.
