Brookfield Real Estate

 
Brookfield is a great location just outside the urban area of Downtown Milwaukee. It’s a shopper’s paradise with retail shops and specialty stores at Brookfield Square, The Corridor, The Galleria, Ruby Isle, and The Corners. Even though it’s in the suburbs, Brookfield has over 150 dining options and tons of entertainment. It’s a short 5-mile drive to downtown via I-94 and 30 minutes to the airport.
 
Many older houses in Brookfield date back to the 1950s and 1960s when automobiles allowed city workers to move farther out from the city. You’ll find new and luxurious living spaces in the Berkshire Hills, Brandon Preserve, Weston Hills, and Vincent Park neighborhoods. Many were built in contemporary Colonial architecture with formal living rooms, walk-in closets, multi-car garages, and spacious yards. You’ll find low-rise condos in Pheasant Run, Fox River Hollow, and Fairview Heights that are closer to shops and restaurants. 
 

What to Love

  • Numerous shopping centers
  • Plenty of entertainment year-round
  • Luxury homes on spacious lots
  • Close commute to downtown and the airport

Local Lifestyle

 
Brookfield is a suburban town with all the city amenities. It’s slower and much quieter than the urban sprawl of downtown. The abundance of green spaces gives it a more outdoorsy vibe. Residents in the neighborhoods know each other. There’s also lots of cool, fun entertainment, so friends and family often get together for social gatherings.
 

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

 
There are plenty of eateries in Brookfield. Café Hollander has an extensive menu and is perfect for a rooftop brunch. Another great brunch spot is the Honey Berry Pancakes and Café. BelAir Cantina is a Wisconsin staple with a selection of tacos and hand-shaken margaritas. Grimaldi’s Pizza serves brick-oven Brooklyn pizzas. Looking for gluten-free options? Mimosa is a great breakfast restaurant with just that. 
 
North Star American Bistro serves everything from pasta to burgers and is a local go-to for catering. Parkside 23 showcases farm-to-table American fare in a casual setting. If you’re looking for a 24/7 diner, George Webb Restaurant offers comfort food and an all-day breakfast. Taste of India has an Indo-Chino menu and an extensive lunch buffet. Mission BBQ is a local favorite for authentic homemade BBQ while Culver’s is famous for its custards and signature burgers. If you’re looking for a sports bar, Bullwinkles at the Galleria has all your typical bar grub, big-screen TVs, a game room, and a patio.
 
You’ll find national retailers at Brookfield Square and The Corners, where events are often hosted at the open plaza. You’ll also find plenty of locally-owned stores and boutique shops along Bluemound Rd. On Saturdays, the Brookfield Farmers Market features organic produce, fresh local foods, and craft vendors.
 

Things to Do 

 
In addition to shopping and dining, there’s plenty of entertainment in Brookfield. The Movie Tavern features theater dining and dream lounge seating. You can even host your private screening. Game Show Battle Rooms, Breakout Games, and Catch 22 Escape Rooms are great for social get-togethers. You can catch some comedy at the Milwaukee Improv or a performance at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts. For something more active, there’s an indoor golf course at X Golf and rock climbing at Adventure Rock. 
 
The parks in Brookfield offer beautiful natural scenery. The 223-acre Fox Brook Park has hiking trails, a picnic area, a swimming beach, a playground, and ice skating in the winter. Mitchell Park Pavilion has nature trails, bike paths, and an arts space. Wirth Park has a number of sports and recreation facilities, including baseball and soccer fields and the Wiberg Aquatic Center. You can also take friends and family to the Milwaukee County Zoo.
