Smile Family moving from IL, looking for diverse family friendly areas in WI near Oconomowoc, WI

We are a family of 5 moving from Chicaco, IL to Winsconsin. My husbands job will be located in Oconomowoc, WI. So we would love to be somewhat near his job and near Milwaukee just to be near a major city.

We are looking for a diverse family friendly area to reside with decent schools.

Please help us. We are doing our own research as well. All replies will be appreciated. Thanks for your time and help!


Thanks!

The Davis family

Oconomowoc and Lake Country are very pretty and growing areas. For more diversity and to be closer to Milwaukee you might want to live in closer. You might want to check out Brookfield or Waukesha.

There's beauty in the solace of not giving a damn.

Yes indeed, Brookfield and Waukesha are well-known bastions of diversity, what with their respective 7% and 13% minority populations...

Unhappy Diverse ?

MKE burbs are noted for being the least diverse in the US.
Unlikely anyone will bother you but not friendly either.

AIDAVIS-

Just wondering if you made your move up to WI yet? Did you decide on an area? We just relocated to Oconomowoc from Naperville, IL. So far so good. The schools seem good....still selling our home in Naperville so we havent yet decided where we will build or buy at yet. Takes getting used to but we are adjusting...still havent met that many people...thought it would be a little more "new neighbor" friendly.....maybe its me..

Hello! Looks like the original poster only posted once..and never came back!
I know when we moved in to Oconomowoc, we had a Welcome Wagon visit..does that still exist? If so, and they haven't contacted you, contact them! My neighbors did that, and ended up joining a great group (Newcomer's Club) and developed lots of friends! Or find other 'groups' to join, like the bookstore's book club for example, etc.
If you were my new neighbor, I would have baked you cookies! )
Welcome!
