If you work downtown and are on the hunt for apartments near downtown Milwaukee, you’d be hard-pressed to find a nearby rental option offering free private garage parking, condo-style entry, private patio or balcony, pet friendly atmosphere including no pet weight limit, as well as a beautiful clubhouse with on-site management team, a resident party room, 24/7 fitness room, and swimming pool with sun deck. It’s doubtful you would find all those amenities PLUS great options like a den, gas fireplace, and laundry alternatives (choose between in-home laundry or shared on-site laundry options). But if you choose one of Wimmer’s Oak Creek apartments, all of these amenities will be yours!

So, if we’ve established that Wimmer Communities’ Oak Creek apartments are far superior to those found downtown, the next logical step is to consider the Oak Creek to Milwaukee commute. Oak Creek is 12 miles from downtown, and Milwaukee commute times typically range from 15 to 25 minutes. You’ll be glad to know that Milwaukee ranks among the top 5 U.S. cities with the lowest average commute times, according to a study by COMMERCIALCafe, a national commercial information services provider. And YardiKube ranks Milwaukee the second-best US metro area for commuters, based on commute time and costs. Sounds to me like the Oak Creek to Milwaukee commute is about as good as it gets!

but you know who’s always there for you?

Laundry.  Laundry will always be there for you.”

Well, laundry AND Wimmer Communities will always be there for you.  We are there for you with 18 of our Milwaukee area apartment communities with in-unit washers and dryers! 

Whether a washer and dryer within your home is a deal-breaker or, so far, just a dream, let’s talk about which Wimmer Community is right for you…

If you’re looking for an apartment in Brookfield, rest assured you’ll have your own in-unit washer/dryer at The Linx Club, Poplar Creek Town Center, Georgetown Square, The Artisan, and the Lofts and Pinnacle at The Club at Brookfield Hills.  The Terraces at CBH have common laundry options in each building. 

“Next door” in New Berlin, both Deer Creek Run and The Sanctuary have in-unit washer/dryers; at The Sanctuary they are full size.

For those on the hunt for a townhome with laundry access, check out the beautiful Georgetown Square townhomes with full size in-home washer/dryers.  Whitnall Glen also has townhomes with in-unit washer/dryers; in fact, all apartments at Whitnall Glen have washer/dryers.  Townhomes at Woodridge and Parkside have washer/dryer hookups (only).  Select one- and two-bedroom (non-townhome) apartments at Parkside have washer/dryers plus there are shared on-site laundry facilities available as well. 

You’re in luck if you want to do your laundry in Greenfield (hahaha)!  All of Wimmer’s Greenfield apartment communities have in-unit washer/dryers, including Falcon Glen, Westfield, and Rivershire.  The Orchard’s washer/dryers are full-size, and Foxwood Crossing’s washer/dryers are full-size/stacked machines.

On the south side of town, Centennial Park in Oak Creek has full-size washer/dryers in every apartment, while Southfield, also in Oak Creek, features washer/dryers in select units (specifically phases 2 & 3).  There is a convenient on-site laundry room for phase 1 apartments.

If you’re focused on Lake Country, Oakton Beach is a great community located in Pewaukee with private tennis courts and a gorgeous lakeside dock for resident use.  When it’s time to wash your tennis clothes, most units have a washer/dryer.  Also on the west side of town, Waukesha’s Foxhaven community features full-size washer/dryers in every apartment. 

Alas, if the bluffs of Lake Michigan are calling out to you, you’re sure to enjoy the pleasure of doing laundry in any one of the beautiful Signature apartments in Shorewood!

Remember, Wimmer Communities are always there for you – on laundry day and EVERY day!

But one of the very best ways to spend a few minutes or a few hours on a warm summer day is by a crystal-clear swimming pool.  And it just so happens that Wimmer Communities has THIRTEEN apartment communities offering YOU the chance to swim and lounge by a pool just steps from your front door! 

If New Berlin is the place you’d like to call home, stop by Deer Creek Apartments or The Sanctuary to check out their lovely pools.  In Brookfield, you’ll find a showstopper resort-style pool at Poplar Creek Town Center, and an Olympic size pool at The Club at Brookfield Hills.  The Linx Club and Georgetown Square have beautiful pools, while The Artisan offers access to the Georgetown Square pool, about one block away.   

In Menomonee Falls, residents of RiverWalk on the Falls have a gorgeous pool overlooking the falls themselves, while Tamarack Springs’ pool overlooks a lovely pond.  If you’re apartment-hunting in Oak Creek, check out our beautiful pools at Centennial Park and Southfield.  Both are well-loved by our residents! 

Our Greenfield and Hales Corners apartment communities with swimming pools include Rivershire and Falcon Glen.  The Orchard residents are invited to utilize the pool at Falcon Glen, which is a short 5-minute drive away.  The swimming pool at Whitnall Gardens was recently updated for its’ residents, and neighboring Whitnall Glen residents are invited to make use of it as well.  

The last day of pool season at most Wimmer Communities pools is known as Doggy Swim Day!  This means that resident dogs are invited to swim in the pool just before it is closed for the season.  Much fanfare surrounds this fun event, and no one enjoys it more than Wimmer’s furriest residents.   

Although a swimming pool may not be your deciding factor while apartment shopping, we hope it positively influences your decision in Wimmer Communties’ favor.  After all, everyone knows life is better poolside!

If you’re torn between the comfort of village life and the excitement of city life, Hales Corners is a great option to consider! Within 15 or 20 minutes you can drive from Hales Corners to Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward in one direction, or Brookfield in another. And within this vibrant village itself you can find the shopping, restaurants and businesses that make life convenient.

For nearly 100 years, Hales Corners residents have had the pleasure of enjoying one of our state’s most beautiful botanical gardens, right in our proverbial back yard! The Boerner Botanical Gardens within Whitnall Park is the jewel of Hales Corners’ crown! And Wimmer Communities offers 4 apartment communities close by.

If you’re looking for a town home in Hales Corners, check out Whitnall Gardens or Parkside Apartments. Both have 3-bedroom options. Parkside town homes even have full basements, giving you a significant amount of additional space, while Whitnall Gardens has a beautiful swimming pool!

Whitnall Glen is a great choice for those looking to maximize the perk of living next to Whitnall Park. There is a great walking path giving residents direct access! Choose a 1- or 2-bedroom apartment with private entrance, 1 car garage with opener, and in-unit washer/dryer. Options include dens and cathedral ceilings. You’ll even have access to our sister property’s swimming pool at Whitnall Gardens!

One and two-bedroom homes are also available at Parkside and Whitnall Gardens Apartments. In fact, Parkside garden residences include heat and hot water utilities. Some 1- and 2-bedroom Parkside apartments have loft or den options as well. Select Whitnall Gardens apartments also include heat and hot water utilities! Nice to cross that monthly bill off your list!

Apartment hunters who are 55+ may like the convenience of Forest Ridge Senior Community. Forest Ridge is far and away Hales Corners’ premiere senior community, and beyond. With one- and two-bedroom apartments, some with dens, Forest Ridge offers the very best senior living and assisted living options.

If you’re on the hunt for the comfort of a 3-bedroom apartment, Wimmer Communities offers two options in Greenfield: Falcon Glen or The Orchard.  Both choices are spacious – some floor plans are over 2,200 square feet – wow!   Plus, you can enjoy the luxury of Falcon Glen’s heated outdoor pool, fitness room, and clubroom, which is available for your private party.

If you love, love, love Greenfield but still have a budget to stick to, check out Westfield and Foxwood Crossing.  Each of these communities offer economical 2-bedroom options, still with in-unit laundry and private garage parking.

Then again, if you can’t decide which is more important to you – budget or amenities – why not check out Rivershire?!  Rivershire offers 2-bedroom apartments with 1-2 bathrooms on either side of 1,000 square feet.  You’ll be steps away from the updated clubhouse, fitness room, community room available for private parties, and the heated outdoor pool.  You’ll also have easy access to the fifteen-mile-long Root River Parkway where you can enjoy strolling, jogging, riding, or even cross-country skiing. 

All these Greenfield apartment options welcome up to two pets, with no weight restrictions (some restrictions apply).  Check out all the pet details and the specific elements of each community featured.

The Village of Shorewood sits on the bluffs and shores of Lake Michigan and offers more than 13 acres of public parkland. One of the most unique is Atwater Beach with breathtaking views of Lake Michigan from the bluffs and 800 feet of sandy shoreline. The 123-mile Oak Leaf Trail is one of many great paved bike trails that passes through Shorewood.

Oakland Avenue has an incredible number of restaurants, bars, shops, salons and spas within a walkable area. And at the heart of it all is Wimmer Communities’ “The Signature,” offering 1- and 2-bedroom floor plans with 758 – 1,589 square feet, newly constructed in 2024.

Residents of The Signature enjoy high-end finishes including stainless steel appliances, French door refrigerator, solid surface countertops, in-home laundry, patio or balcony, walk-in closet, smart locks, and smart plugs in select locations. You’ll love working out in the fitness room and entertaining friends in the club room. Our pet spa and twenty-four-hour package system will make your life easier. Storage and heated underground parking are included with your rent.

Shorewood, Wisconsin is an ideal place to live because it offers all the neighborhood shopping, dining, entertainment, and recreational options you need, just steps away from an incredible apartment community that you’ll be proud to call home.

The beautiful Brookfield Hills Public Golf Course is surrounded by several apartment communities with scenic views.  Both The Club at Brookfield Hills and The Linx Club at Brookfield Hills are situated along the course.  It would be hard to decide which of the four seasons is the most scenic from the vantage point of these lovely apartment terraces and balconies.

Brookfield’s Greenway Trail is, “a comprehensive city-wide off-street system of recreational trails that connect existing and proposed parks together and link these sites with other community facilities and to the regional trail system.”  The trail’s construction is a multi-year priority for Brookfield and there are currently 11+ miles of off-road segments completed.  The trail is steps away from two of Brookfield’s most beautiful apartment communities: Georgetown Square and The Artisan.  These one or two-bedroom apartments or townhomes are literally across the street from the off-road trails, bike paths, and sidewalks that make up the Greenway Trail System.  Picture yourself (and your furry friend) getting year-round pleasure from this civic jewel!

The meandering Poplar Creek is a local Brookfield gem winding through tree-lined woodlands and meadows.  Poplar Creek Town Center apartments are situated along the gentle bends in the creek, providing serene views from the balconies, terraces, and generous windows.  Paved walking paths weave along the creek and both natural and landscaped green spaces, delivering ideal places to walk your dog, or clear your head after a long day.

The best apartment communities in Brookfield all have some other things in common…they each have an exciting clubhouse with fitness center, swimming pool access, catering kitchen, complimentary coffee bars, and private party clubhouse rentals.  Some of these communities have pet spas, golf simulators, maker’s spaces, gas grill stations, and an art gallery.

Brookfield, Wisconsin is an ideal place to live because it offers all the shopping, dining, and entertainment you need, while providing outstanding recreational options just steps away from incredible apartment communities.

On move-in day, when I walked into the leasing office, the man there gave me a dog treat – and that’s when I knew these people love dogs! My new home has lots of big windows for me to watch the birds, squirrels, and other wildlife in the woods and along the creek that runs through the property.

I can go for walks with my mom in my giant back yard along three miles of sidewalks and wooded paths. Almost 40% of this place is green space, and when I say, “green space,” I mean actual grass – not that artificial turf stuff. When it comes time to “do my duty,” clean-up is easy for her with all the convenient dog waste stations strategically located around the property.

Speaking of walks…there is a pet-friendly shopping area called The Corners of Brookfield right across the street from Poplar Creek Town Center! Once in a while my mom takes me there, or we get in the car for a short ride to Pet Supplies Plus, Bentley’s Pet Stuff, or Pet Smart. And sometimes my mom takes me to the K9 Resort less than a mile from my new home.

Shopping is fun, but my absolute favorite day of the year is the annual Doggy Swim Day, which is the day before the huge resort-style pool closes for the season. All the dogs in the whole property join me for a fabulous play date in the pool. I’m not sure if it’s my birthday, or what, but life does not get any better than that!

When I get into a little mischief and need a bath, even bathing is better at Poplar Creek Town Center! They have a spa just for pampering pets! I get shampooed by my mom in the large tub, then she sets me on what must be a massage table and dries my fur and gives me a mani/pedi. You can’t make this stuff up!

As you can see, I love my new home at Poplar Creek Town Center! Stop by to take a look around sometime soon.

Wish you were here!
