M I L W A U K E E C O U N T Y M ilwaukee is a county of extremes. It is one of the state’s smallest counties geographically – and its most populous. Its mood ranges from the hustle and bustle of Milwaukee’s down- town to the rural quietness of River Hills, Hales Corners and Franklin. There is the nightlife revelry along Water, Brady and Old World Third streets and the quiet serenity of the 15,000- acre Milwaukee County park system. There’s the majestic fury of Lake Michigan on a blustery November day and the quiet gurgling of the Kinnickinnic River. There are the stately lake- front mansions along the county’s North Shore and the South Side’s modest bungalows . It is a county of cities and villages – from the sprawling city of Milwaukee to the quaint village of Greendale, a “Greenbelt” community designed and built around public parks. There really is something for everyone in Milwaukee County. No matter where you live in this dynamic county, you will never be far from the action.
