About Whitefish Bay

Whitefish Bay remains the most common first choice for those relocating to Milwaukee’s North Shore. Its reputation precedes it. Located along the lake and only 15 minutes from downtown, it’s convenient to everything. Whitefish Bay's schools are consistently top ranked and its 4th of July parade is legendary. It's a tight knit, sidewalk community that outperforms other neighborhoods in good times and bad.

What Richard Loves About Whitefish Bay

"Having lived in Whitefish Bay for years, I grew to adore the iconic 4th of July Parade. People come from far and wide to experience this wonderful slice of Americana. It runs along both East Silver Spring and North Lake Drive."
