I've been looking for a condo/house lately. Everything in Lake Country or reasonably north of it has gone up too much in price. I notice Waukesha still has some relatively cheap places. I know parts of it are white trashy/Mexican. (Mostly south and some central parts?)

I know the northwest quadrant is OK, especially the closer to Pewaukee and Delafield you get. How is the northeast quadrant? I see a lot of reasonably priced places there, so I figure there has to be something wrong with it.

Any tips much appreciated. (Should you know of a place under $300K within 40 minutes or so of Brookfield to the west or north, feel free to share.) Thanks.

I just moved out of New Berlin.  I'd look in Muskego if I was you but prices are probably up there.  Maybe Wind Lake or Big Bend?  Sussex might not be a bad place either, pretty easy commute to Brookfield and no ghetto.

High prices or no inventory even farther out than Big Bend. I almost settled for an overpriced condo in Hartland, but it was already gone when I called. A coworker ended up buying a place in Fond du Lac to find something affordable.

I'm half tempted to get a place in Vilas County or the UP and just have a crazy commute a couple days a week.

If you're okay with a commute a few times/week Juneau CO is less than 2 hours to Brookfield on 90/94.  Low taxes, no real ghetto, cheap houses and plenty of land.  Climate is about the same as Waukesha CO too.

There's a few in Watertown. I've heard it's kind of rough these days. (No first hand knowledge.) I'd love Dousman! I don't 800K to hand unfortunately.

How about Eagle, Palmyra or East Troy? Johnson Creek (right on 94)

Eagle is out for me unless they have fired the predatory MKE law firm that handles their fines. After seeing that truck driver lose him home over their shady nonsense, I crossed Eagle off my list.

Looks like they have managed to hold onto their property for now. I remember initially it was reported that they were going to have to sell.
