Germantown Area
Community Introduction
Over the years, Germantown, the “Gateway to Washington County,” has distinguished itself among some of the best communities to live and do business—not only in Wisconsin, but the entire nation, as seen through its recent recognition as one of the “Best Places to Live” by Money magazine.
The village’s distinct German heritage is reflected in all aspects of the community—in its congenial nature, historical sites, unique shops, great restaurants and certainly in the clear use of traditional fachwerk architecture in many of its structures.
Germantown’s location on Milwaukee’s northwest side appeals to suburban lifestyles, while its preservation of natural green space and outdoor recreational areas appeal to the rural way of living—and its overall friendly and welcoming demeanor certainly draws in people from all walks of life.
Businesses also revel in these features, as more and more relocate or expand in the community each year.
Whether you live here, commute from out of town or are just visiting, Germantown welcomes all to come experience everything that it has to offer—Willkommen!
