Probably the most frequently asked question by new residents is "In what areas do most residents live?"
An analysis of all residents shows that the majority live in the following areas: Wauwatosa, Brookfield, West Allis, Greenfield, Shorewood; in Milwaukee, on the "East Side" (from Wisconsin Avenue north to the Shorewood border and from the lakefront west to the Milwaukee River), west of 50th Street, and in the neighborhoods of the major hospitals.
Some landlords ask potential tenants to complete an application. Have the following information with you:
a. Employment Verification/Address/Phone Number
b. Address/Phone Number of Present Landlord
c. Bank References, Credit References and Personal References
