Germantown — Northwest Suburb of Milwaukee
Gemutlichkeit. German for congenial and friendly. It’s a good word to describe Germantown — the largest village (by square miles) in the state and one of the most beautiful.
Occupying over 34 square miles, with a growing population of more than 17,000, Germantown provides convenient access to Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Milwaukee counties, as well as a variety of recreational and cultural activities found in Washington County.
Germantown is one of the fastest-growing communities in Wisconsin. Its location as the northwest suburb of the City of Milwaukee has made it an excellent choice as home for commuters working in the city or metropolitan area.
Germantown’s appeal is rural and suburban, making it the best location choice for industry and manufacturers looking for the services of a large metropolitan area, but needing space for expansion and growth of their facilities. The rapid growth of the local population—600 in 1960 to over 17,000 in 2000—has also made Germantown a great location for retail, service and hospitality businesses. Richfield has experienced similar growth.
A 30-minute drive from downtown Germantown or Richfield to downtown Milwaukee lets residents and visitors experience world-class ballet, one of the best symphonies in the United States and a variety of theatre groups performing in the downtown Theatre District.
Sports enthusiasts can enjoy the Milwaukee Bucks, Milwaukee Brewers, Milwaukee Admirals, Milwaukee Wave, or the Milwaukee Mustangs throughout the year. Downtown Milwaukee nightclubs host visitors from all over the metropolitan area nightly. The city boasts dozens of historic and educational attractions, including the Milwaukee Public Museum, the Milwaukee County Zoo, an IMAX Theatre, and the Mitchell Park Domes.
In addition, visitors can enjoy tours of internationally known companies such as Harley-Davidson and Miller Brewing Company. Residents and visitors to Germantown can experience as much of the city life as they like, before returning to the peaceful, rural charm of the largest village in the State of Wisconsin.
