I would highly ignore those trying to make you worry about your family in certain areas as there is always bound to be 1 or 2 bad apples anywhere.

Even the more radical friends I know who have always been strongly anti marriage are not abusive or attacking people in public and are cordial and friendly. You can always meet the neighbors before putting in an offer but have to say after living in rural Wisconsin, East side MKE, Waukesha, Brookfield, Lake Geneva, and now Oconomowoc area people have always been generally the same.

I guess take my words with a grain of salt though as I am hetro and married. It could be worse than I believe/see but I like to think the best of the people in Wisconsin. I would worry more about housing/school/commute.

You can find some homes in Whitefish Bay, Shorewood & especially around campus for under $250k. There may not be as many to choose from, but they're out there. My brother-in-law just bought a home in Whitefish Bay for $190k. I'm not a housing expert by any means, but it didn't look run down or like it needed much if any immediate work. The only thing he mentioned updating was the bathroom tile, & sink.

Zillow.com gives a quick overview of general housing prices.
