Hales Corners named Wisconsin’s “Best Affordable Suburb”

BusinessWeek recently reported their best affordable suburbs in America, naming a best suburb in each state based on communities where “families can live well for less and enjoy good schools, low crime and reasonable commutes.” And our state’s best affordable suburb just happens to be right here in Southeast Wisconsin! Hales Corners, a suburb just southwest of Milwaukee, was chosen as Wisconsin’s most affordable suburb thanks in part to all the conveniences the town is surrounded by.

Here’s what BusinessWeek had to say about why Hales Corners was chosen:

“This village, only 3.2 miles square, provides residents with access to shopping centers, two pools in the Hales Corners County Park, Whitnall Park Golf Course, Boerner Botanical Gardens, and Wehr Nature Center. It is a short drive to General Mitchell International Airport and the shore of Lake Michigan. It is part of the Whitnall School District, which has four public schools and a charter school.”
