Welcome to South Suburban, Wisconsin

Welcome to South Suburban, Wisconsin, comprised of the communities of Oak Creek and Franklin. The area sits in the southeastern corner of Milwaukee County, on the western shore of Lake Michigan and adjacent to the city of Milwaukee. This strategic location places Oak Creek and Franklin within a major metropolitan area, along the Chicago-Milwaukee I-94 corridor – a fantastic spot for commerce and residential living.

The area offers a mix of suburban and rural lifestyles, removed, but in very close distance, to the attractions and culture of Milwaukee. Residents have access to big-city entertainment venues, professional sports teams, vibrant cultural outlets, museums and more without having to travel more than 25 minutes. At home, the two cities host numerous community parks, a challenging game of golf at Oak Hills Golf Club, movie theaters, communitywide festivals and events and an array of cultural and historical offerings through the Oak Creek Historical Society and Polish Heritage Alliance.

The South Suburban communities are also attractive places to do businesses. Franklin has been dubbed a “City of the Future,” offers three TIF districts and is part of the extensive Metro Milwaukee Technology Zone. Access to a strong and highly skilled workforce is also among the many reasons businesses choose to operate here. That pool of labor continues to grow, as the area is recognized among the fastest-growing in Southeastern Wisconsin.

All of these facets come together to create a superior way of life for the residents and businesses of Oak Creek and Franklin – a lifestyle that has earned recognition among the “Top 100 Best Places to Live” by Money magazine.
