The history of the company is on display for all to see at the Harley-Davidson Museum. At this top Milwaukee attraction, families and motorcycle lovers alike can come see special items like Serial Number 1—the oldest known Harley-Davidson motorbike—or take a tour of the past through photos to see how the motorcycle giant went from its humble beginnings inside of a shed to the top American motorcycle company!

What are you waiting for? Now is the time. Welcome to all! With the neighborhood we moved to, I was happy to find that everything was pretty much walkable. There is also something new to see and experience every season. I like how Milwaukee is like a little sense of Chicago, yet it is still affordable.
Everything is very close in proximity like a big city, yet it is easy to navigate. I think the Relocation Guide was perfect for planning a move. Whenever we needed more information I went online and signed up for the Facebook page and got information from there. If we needed help, we could look to the guide for more information. Any suggestions on must see places. How the 2 cities compare with regard to quality of life etc I would appreciate any feedback.
Thank you. Milwaukee City. We'll let's first start off with which ever city you chose the other city is only a hour train ride away. So for that reason Milwaukee is a great place to live without the Chicago price and pace. What ages are your kids? You have to decide if you want to be in a huge city or just a big city. Does traffic bother you?
Milwaukee is a very diverse city that still holds on to it's ethnic culture with ethnic festivals every weekend. Milwaukee is a lot cheaper than Chicago in terms of housing and cost of living. I would recommend renting for a year and deciding while you are here which one is best.
Since you been to Chicago you kinda know what it's like. Milwaukee will be a great time for you as well. What are you leaning towards? Chicago or a smaller version of Chicago. You can find just about the same things in Milwaukee that you can in Chicago in terms of quality of life, upscale parts of the city and suburbs and bad crime areas.
Crime has gone down in Milwaukee dramatically since the 90's and now is a very safe city however just like any big city when your area has 2 million people you will have a few bad apples. If their younger kids you might be better off in Milwaukee but if their teens they might have more fun in Chicago.
Overall both are great places to raise a family it just depends are you a Charlotte kind of guy or more of a new york city kind of guy? Thank you so much for replying so quickly. I am really getting excited about this. But recently, the size and slower pace of Charlotte has changed me a bit. We go down to Atlanta every couple of months and enjoy the "big city" so an hour train ride or even a 2 hour car ride is very doable. The ethnic festivals sound great. My boys are 6 and 7 and love doing things like that.
We are a bi-racial family. My boys are 6 and 7, they are african american and I am white. It is very important to us that we experience as much culture as we can. Milwaukee sounds great. I will continue researching the area and check it out when I come up in september. The only downside to Milwaukee so far is that my parents live in Columbia Missouri which will be a bit farther, but not too bad. We are very far from them here in North Carolina.
Again, thank you so much. I think Milwaukee may be a great place for us. As a native Chicagoan, go with Milwaukee. Housing is cheaper, traffic is far better. Taxes are a bit higher, but they're not that cheap in Illinois, and much of your tax dollars here go towards corruption. You get very little in return for what you pay.
