Almost all…the exceptions are The Grant, S111th, and Cleveland in West Allis.   

Is there a weight limit for dogs? 

Nearly all our communities allow dogs of any size, as long as they are not on the restricted breed list.  In our senior communities there are some size limits.  Forest Ridge Senior Community has a limit of one dog up to 20 pounds. Our other three senior communities (The Centennial Senior in Oak Creek, Silvernail in Pewaukee, and Heritage House in West Allis) all have a dog weight limit of 30 pounds.  

Is there a limit to the total number of pets I can have in my apartment? 

Almost every Wimmer apartment community allows 2 pets per apartment with the following exceptions: Only one pet allowed at our Heritage House Senior Community in West Allis.  Forest Ridge Senior Community allows up to 2 pets total, but not more than 1 dog (two pets total can be either 2 cats, OR 1 cat & 1 dog). 

Is the one-time pet fee refundable?   

The one-time pet fee is NON-refundable with the following senior community exceptions: The Centennial in Oak Creek, Heritage House in West Allis, and Silvernail in Pewaukee.  At these senior communities the one-time pet fee is REFUNDABLE. 

Are my pet birds welcome in my Wimmer Apartment?   

A maximum of 2 birds are allowed in Wimmer apartments.  Birds must be caged, and seeds and droppings must be shielded or caught to prevent accumulation and/or damage to the leased premises.  No additional deposit is required with the exception of the following senior communities – The Centennial in Oak Creek, Silvernail in Pewaukee, and Heritage House in West Allis.  **Please note this additional deposit is REFUNDABLE at the above senior communities. 

Are my pet mice welcome in my Wimmer apartment? 

The short answer is no.  More specifically, caged and/or exotic animals including, but not limited to, ferrets, mice, rats, guinea pigs, snakes, lizards, farm animals, and other exotic animals are not allowed.  If you have a family pet other than a cat, dog, or bird, please call the leasing office so we can discuss your options. 

I see “Doggy Swim Days” advertised.  Please explain. 

Many of our communities with swimming pools celebrate the arrival of fall with a pool party, to which resident dogs are invited.  The dogs may swim in the community’s pool just before it is closed for the season, generally mid to late September.   

I see some communities have “Pet Spa – Wash & Groom” listed.  Please explain. 

Select communities have a room set aside for residents to bathe and groom their dogs.  The “Spa” includes a stainless steel tub with coil spray hose, a grooming table with non-slip surface, and an attached grooming arm with 18” loop.   

What are Pet Waste Stations? 

Pet Waste Stations are convenient and comprehensive systems for the disposal of pet waste.  Our dog-walking residents may utilize strategically located stations which include disposal baggies and a receptacle with lid.  Although not all, the vast majority of our communities offer this amenity. 

Is every dog breed welcome? 

While the vast majority of dog breeds are welcome, we do have some restrictions.  The current restricted breeds are listed below.  Wimmer Communities reserves the right to expand and/or change the restricted breed list without notice for all animals not currently on the lease or approved for residency by management.   

Prohibited breeds: American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pitbull Terrier, Alaskan Malamute, Akite, Cane Corso, Chow Chow, Doberman Pinscher, German Shepherd, Great Dane, Mastiffs, Presa Canario, Rottweiler, Pit Bull, Siberian Husky, St. Francis Terrier, or Wolf. No Mix of/with Any Restricted Breed is Allowed. *A photo and/or veterinary paperwork may be required with your application.

Over 47 million Americans play golf, and about 8 out of 10 golfers play on public golf courses.  So, it only makes sense that apartment hunters often consider proximity to public golf courses as part of their apartment search criteria.  Wimmer Communities is ready with a helping hand!  We’ve researched the best public golf courses near each of our communities so you don’t have to.  Scroll down to look at the map showing the location of Wimmer Communities relative to the best public golf courses in metro Milwaukee, as well as a summary of each golf course including the length of the drive (pun intended) to our nearby properties.

While all of our apartment communities are NEAR fabulous public golf courses, you may be interested in our communities located within a golf course, or within walking distance to a practice facility (driving range, putting green). 

What are the benefits of living in an apartment on a golf course?

Renting an apartment on a golf course offers the luxury of resort-style living every day.  Just imagine checking in to a 5-star golf resort, with all the views and amenities that go along with such luxury.  Then imagine not having to check out – this is home sweet home! 

What amenities pair well with golf course living?

The amenities at Wimmer’s golf course communities are enticing.  For example, at The Linx Club at Brookfield Hills, you’ll enjoy incredible golf course views all four seasons.  After a round of golf at the lovely Brookfield Hills Golf Course, invite friends over to our private clubhouse for a swim in the outdoor pool, cook burgers at the grill station, serve dinner in the catering kitchen, relax with a round of billiards, and to top it all off, have even more fun in the golf simulator!  And on any given day, you’ll have clubhouse membership with access to our 24/7 fitness room and the Pet Wash & Groom space. 

Do apartments near golf courses offer better outdoor spaces?

When you live on or near a golf course, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy the scenery that goes hand in hand with the lifestyle in your everyday life.  While sitting on your patio or balcony, driving, walking or riding your bike in your neighborhood, you’ll be taking in the features that make a golf course challenging, such as ponds, mature trees, and undulating fairways.  And don’t get me started on how gorgeous these same features are after the snow falls!  

Are golf course apartments a good choice for retirees and professionals?

Golf course apartments are a great choice for both retirees and professionals.  Retirees presumably have limited commitments and can golf when fewer people are on the course.  Oftentimes, courses offer discounts during these slower times, which is always a welcome feature for golfers on a fixed income.  On the other hand, professionals generally have more commitments and may choose to golf earlier or later in the day, on either side of traditional work hours.  The beauty of living in a golf course apartment in that case is that there is little to no travel time hauling back and forth between the course and home.  You can just pop over for a quick round, followed by a dip in the pool to cool off afterwards.  For more information on travel times to local public golf courses from our communities CLICK HERE.

Why do renters choose apartments with golf course views?

Golf course views are like seashores and bonfires…you can sit and stare at them for hours almost losing track of time.  By renting an apartment with a golf course view, you can enjoy that tranquility just by looking out the window or relaxing on your patio or balcony.  Talk about an amenity!!

Can you enjoy golf course living even if you don’t golf?

Golf course living is about more than golf!  It’s a fairway state of mind.  Even non-golfers enjoy looking over the course and watching small groups of players from a distance.  Not to mention the beauty of sparkling ice hanging on the trees in January, flowering crabs in May, greener than green grass in July, and red, orange, and yellow leaves on the trees in October!  Residents of The Club at Brookfield Hills and The Linx Club can tell you…golf course living is fabulous!

Will Wimmer communities pay for my golf?

Select Wimmer Communities offer free golf each month of the season.  That means a free round of 9 holes at Brookfield Hills Golf Course or a free medium bucket of practice balls at Storms Golf Range at select communities, based on the number of bedrooms in your apartment.  If you rent a 2 bedroom, you receive 2 rounds of golf or 2 buckets of balls every month of the season (1 for a one-bedroom, 3 for a three-bedroom).  Reach out to a leasing consultant today to learn more!

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!
