A quick Google search of “what amenities do renters want most in an apartment in SE Wisconsin” will return results that only confirm what Wimmer Communities has known all along!  We have what Wisconsin renters are looking for!  Let’s start here… 

 

FAQ 

Q: What apartment amenities matter most to Wisconsin renters?  

A: Based on renter surveys, leasing trends, and apartment search behavior, the amenities most consistently ranked as essential include In-Unit Laundry, Central Air Conditioning, Energy Efficient Heating, and Off-Street / Garage Parking to be the top “non-negotiable necessities.” 

Q: Which amenities actually save money? 

A: Some luxury apartment features are not only nice to have, but they actually save renters money!  For example, central air conditioning prevents the high electricity spikes caused by inefficient portable window units.  In-unit washer/dryers eliminate the $2.75++ per-load laundromat fees, and the inconvenience of hauling your dirty laundry all over town.  Onsite fitness centers replace your gym membership fees.  Coworking spaces save $20-$40 per day on office rental fees.   Coffee bars save those $5+++ daily coffee shop purchases.  Onsite package lockers prevent stolen packages and the corresponding financial loss.  Bike repair stations save money because you can do the inevitable repairs without having to invest in bike maintenance tools plus the bike storage we provide keeps your bike safe without the hassle of having to park it in your apartment. 

Q: Which amenities increase comfort during Wisconsin winters? 

A: Wisconsin winters can be long, but there certainly are ways to make them more endurable.  For example, apartments with programmable thermostats increase comfort and save money!  Heated underground parking is a wonderful luxury for both you AND your vehicle!  Double-paned windows keep the heat in and cold out!  Many apartments at Wimmer Communities feature gas fireplaces, which add heat and ambiance.  In-unit laundry is especially great on those winter days when all you want to do is stay indoors. Plus, apartment community features like indoor fitness centers, resident clubs, indoor package rooms and mail rooms take the bite out of winter! 

 

 

Q: Are apartments with in-unit laundry worth it? 

A: Renters find In-Unit Laundry to be worth every penny, or should we say worth every $2.75++, since that is the going rate per load? Running to the laundromat, or even to a shared laundry facility within the community, can be time-consuming, physically taxing, and even irritating during high use times…especially when you want to do your laundry and so does everyone else in your building! 

Q: What amenities increase quality of life? 

A: Renters find Pet-Friendly Policies and highly desirable pet wash & groom stations, Dishwasher & Modern Appliances, and Secure Package Delivery to be “Lifestyle & Functional must-haves” that increase their quality of life. 

Q: What apartment amenities are worth paying for? 

A: Renters find Fitness Center / Wellness Spaces, Outdoor Balcony or Patio, and High-Speed Internet / Fiber Access to be “Nice-to-Have Community Perks,” which are worth paying for. 

Q: Luxury amenities vs. everyday essentials 

A: What makes an apartment amenity “every day” versus “luxury?” When asked, Wisconsin renters find everyday essentials to include in-unit laundry, central air conditioning, energy efficient heating, and off-street / garage parking to be the top non-negotiable necessities.  Let’s add a few more “everyday” rental amenities like modern appliances including dishwasher, private patio or balcony, programmable thermostats, assigned parking, pet waste stations, storage space included with rent, and trash shoots on every floor of multi-floor buildings.  Let’s call those amenities “everyday” because most renters feel they are a must.  That leaves luxury apartment features.  Most renters consider on-site maintenance / management and assigned heated underground parking included with rent to be luxury apartment features.  We’ll also throw in heated outdoor pool with pool deck, clubhouse with catering kitchen available for rental, fitness center, Pet Wash & Groom, Maker’s room with bike repair station, in-unit gas fireplace, outdoor gas grill stations, co-workspace, secure package lockers, golf simulator, billiards room, wiring for high-speed Internet and fiber access, private attached garage, and monthly free golf passes,  

Q: What should I look for when renting an apartment in Southeast Wisconsin?   

A: So, guess what?  The answer to that question is simple…look for Wimmer Communities!  Wimmer offers tons of apartments all over suburban Milwaukee with all the best apartment amenities – but let’s discuss SIX Wimmer apartment communities with ALL the luxury apartment amenities renters want! 

Let’s start with three apartments in Brookfield WI where all the above modern apartment amenities are included with your rent.  The Artisan at Georgetown Square, Poplar Creek Town Center, and The Linx Club at Brookfield Hills are all apartments near Brookfield Square that fulfill everything on the “most requested” wish lists.  Wowweewow! 

All three of the Wimmer Communities apartments in Brookfield WI that we’re focused on today have the best apartment amenities, according to our exhaustive research.  The apartment amenities checklist includes “non-negotiable necessities,” like in-unit laundry, central air conditioning, energy efficient heating, and both underground parking and off-street parking.  One thing that makes Wimmer different is that our apartments with underground parking and/or off-street parking do not charge a parking fee.  However, in many cases you can request additional parking, beyond what is included with your rent, for a monthly fee.  Plus, The Artisan, Poplar Creek, and The Linx Club all offer apartments with storage, also included with your rent.  Kinda nice to have a place for your luggage and holiday decorations! 

Q: What amenities are important for pet owners? 

A: More than half of the people who rent apartments near Milwaukee have pets, which is in keeping with the national average.  That means dog-friendly apartments and cat-friendly apartments are in high demand!  But what makes an apartment community dog and cat-friendly?  For starters, highly desirable Pet Wash & Groom stations are a must!  The Artisan, Poplar Creek, and The Linx Club all have dedicated rooms with a stainless-steel pet tub, a grooming table with adjustable grooming arm, and a wall-mounted vacuum cleaner.  As a matter of fact, Poplar Creek has TWO Pet Wash & Groom stations.  No more struggling with Fido in your apartment shower!  And of course, if Fifi is more of a diva, she too will enjoy a “treatment” in our Pet Spa!!  Beyond that, one of the most appreciated conveniences is our plentiful pet waste stations located around these beautiful apartments in Brookfield WI. 

Apartments with package lockers are a MUST for online shoppers.  If they are a MUST for you too, these apartments near Brookfield Square all offer 24/7 secure package lockers.  The Artisan’s package lockers are on the main floor just off the parking garage, The Linx Club package lockers are centrally located just outside the clubhouse, and each building at Poplar Creek Town Center has its own package locker system.  All phase 2 buildings have an additional secure package room for deliveries that won’t fit within a locker.   

Although we here at Wimmer think it should go without saying, you’ll be happy to know all these apartments in Brookfield WI have upgraded, high-quality stainless-steel appliances, including French door refrigerator.  If you’re on the lookout for apartments with kitchen island, the majority of floor plans in these communities include them.  At The Artisan, The Linx Club, and the EastTown building at Poplar Creek, apartments with kitchen island have granite countertops.  Apartments with all quartz countertops make up the remaining Poplar Creek homes.  So, whichever solid surface you prefer, granite or quartz, we’ve got you covered! 

Apartments with swimming pools are so fabulous because you can enjoy a swim without the responsibility or care and upkeep of the pool.  In fact, you might say it’s the best of both worlds!  So, if apartments with swimming pools are your thing, check out The Linx Club pool and the TWO swimming pools at Poplar Creek Town Center.  The Artisan does not have a swimming pool on its campus, but Artisan residents can take a short walk down the sidewalk to the clubhouse at our sister property, Georgetown Square, for a refreshing swim.    

Speaking of clubhouses…if you’re dreaming of apartments with clubhouse, we’ve got you covered!  All three of these apartments in Brookfield WI have beautiful clubhouses; each is distinct in its own way.  But they all feature fitness rooms with high-end touchscreen Matrix equipment, clubrooms with catering kitchens, coffee bars, and billiard tables.  You’ll find golf simulator rooms at The Linx Club and one of the two clubhouses at Poplar Creek.  If you’re looking for apartments with yoga studio, both Poplar Creek clubhouses will suit you.   

Among the best apartment amenities are outdoor balconies or patios and high-speed Internet / fiber access.  Now that you’re all pumped up about these apartments near Brookfield Square we’ve been discussing, you’ll be happy to know that every apartment has a private patio or balcony so you can soak up our beautiful Wisconsin weather.  And as an added bonus, those patios and balconies at The Linx Club have some absolutely gorgeous golf course views during all four seasons!  And more good news – all of these apartments near Milwaukee are wired for high-speed Internet and fiber access – a necessity for remote workers! 

Let’s continue our best apartment amenities discussion by focusing on three more apartments near Milwaukee, RiverWalk on the Falls and Tamarack Springs, both in Menomonee Falls, and The Signature in Shorewood.   

Luxury apartment amenities abound at these beautiful communities.  From the “non-negotiable necessities” list, all three of these communities feature apartments with washer and dryer, central air conditioning, and energy efficient heating.  Tamarack Springs is a condo-style community with private attached garage parking.  RiverWalk on the Falls and The Signature have apartments with underground parking, as well as off-street parking.  Depending on which floorplan you choose, at RiverWalk you’ll be assigned either one or two underground garage parking spots included with your rent.  At The Signature, depending on which floor plan you choose, you’ll be assigned an underground parking spot or a surface parking space included with your rent.  Additional parking information can be found near the bottom of each property’s rental amenities page.  Both RiverWalk on the Falls and The Signature offer all apartments with storage at no additional charge, while the private attached garage at Tamarack Springs serves as storage at that community. 

As mentioned earlier, those highly desirable Pet Wash & Groom stations we described earlier are available at dog-friendly apartments found at RiverWalk on the Falls, Tamarack Springs, and The Signature.  Convenient pet waste stations can be found at both of our Menomonee Falls communities.   

RiverWalk on the Falls and The Signature in Shorewood are all apartments with package lockers.  RiverWalk on the Falls package lockers are on the main floor of each building, while the Shorewood package lockers are conveniently located just outside the clubroom.   

RiverWalk on the Falls, Tamarack Springs, and The Signature all feature upgraded, high quality stainless-steel appliances including French door refrigerator.  The vast majority are apartments with kitchen island.  At RiverWalk I, the islands have granite countertops, while at RiverWalk II all countertops are quartz.  Tamarack Springs apartments feature a granite breakfast bar.  At The Signature all kitchen countertops are quartz. 

Both RiverWalk on the Falls and Tamarack Springs have beautiful heated outdoor pools with great deck and plentiful lounge furniture.  Apartments with swimming pool add that extra “fun-in-the-sun” ingredient to your summer!  And don’t underestimate the social aspects of seeing your neighbors at the pool. 

All three of these stunning communities are apartments with clubhouse.  The RiverWalk and Tamarack Springs clubhouses feature two-story vaulted ceilings and are real showstoppers.  The Signature clubroom is an elegant space adjacent to the leasing office, plus there is an equally beautiful large resident lounge overlooking all the action on Oakland Avenue.  All these communities feature complimentary resident coffee bars, fitness rooms, and the previously mentioned Pet Wash & Groom spaces.  RiverWalk on the Falls and Tamarack Springs clubhouses additionally feature Workspaces including bicycle repair equipment. 

Considered one of the best apartment amenities, all three communities include either a balcony or patio, for each resident to have the private outdoor space we all crave.  Additionally, all of these apartments near Milwaukee are wired for high-speed Internet and fiber access – a necessity for remote workers!   

At Wimmer Communities, many of our apartment communities include amenities residents consistently request, including attached garages, in-unit washers and dryers, fitness centers, pet-friendly policies, private balconies, and professionally maintained grounds. Because every community is different, prospective residents can compare amenities on our website to find the best fit for their lifestyle.

Wimmer Communities offers two outstanding apartments in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, a city that is known as one of the most convenient metro Milwaukee suburbs of all. Living in Oak Creek, WI is pure bliss! The community itself has all the shopping, dining, and entertainment options you need. It boasts an opportune location, tucked away between the beautiful Lake Michigan coastline and the Interstate 94/41 north/south corridor leading south to Chicago, and north or west to Milwaukee or Madison.

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!

“Sometimes you might feel like no one’s there for you,

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!

There really is no better place to be in this whole wide world, than Metro Milwaukee in the Summertime!  We Milwaukeeans really know how to squeeze every ounce of fun out of those long, lazy days between Memorial Day and Labor Day.  Of course we have Summerfest, church and ethnic festivals, outdoor concerts (including Wimmer’s own Concerts in the Gardens series at Whitnall Park), BBQ’s, boating and fishing on our gorgeous lakes…and the list goes on.    

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!

Guide to the Best Apartments in Hales Corners

 

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.

Greenfield, Wisconsin is a beautiful suburb – made even more beautiful by the 16 city and county parks.  Convenience is key to this area, with a huge assortment of shopping, dining, and entertainment options close at hand.  Wimmer Communities has a wide variety of apartments to choose from within this dynamic area, all with private entrances, in-unit laundry, patio or balcony, and parking within a private garage included with rent.

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.

Shorewood prides itself on being an “urban suburb,” meaning a blend of the best of everything! Its walkability and location relative to downtown make it one of the Milwaukee area’s most desirable communities.

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.

Brookfield, Wisconsin has some of the most incredible apartment communities in the entire metro-Milwaukee area.  Whether you want to live on a beautiful golf course, steps away from Brookfield’s Greenway Trail, or along a tree-lined creek, Brookfield is where it’s at! 

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.
