It just amazes me that something like a Target can be hyped-up as a special "amenity." Ever.

Having a Target close by would be considered convenient to many.

But in no way special or unique - Marshfield, Hudson, Superior and Fondy have 'em. They are all over the country. And they aren't unique or special in and of themselves, as there are Wal-Marts, ShopKos, etc., all across the country.

It's also convenient to have a gas station near your house. I wouldn't list that as an amenity, though.

I agree in that it isn't unique... But there's a reason why real estate agents put the phrase "shopping center nearby" in listings.

I prefer Elm Grove. It's definitely suburbia, but much more "charming" than Brookfield, IMO, with cooler houses, a cuter downtown, and more of a tight-knit community.

Either one is a good choice.

Elm Grove has cachet, but Brookfield is hardly a slouch either. They both have a high level of suburban style convenience. Elm Grove has the little village area and was built out earlier so it has more of an established appearance. Eastern Brookfield had a huge boom in the mid century, while the western areas were gradually developed later (including recently). The variety of homes between Elm Grove and Brookfield should offer anything that you want.
