Not that great, long winters and huge potholes.

I lived in waukesha for 37 years. It's home, it's where I grew up but it's a bit of a dump. They're trying hard to make it nice but its just not that great of a place to live. Crime has been on the rise for years. Winter lasts for 8 months and good luck getting plowed in a reasonable amount of time if you're not in a high property tax area. The pot holes are a quarter the size of your car, lots of money in suspension costs to your car. The rents are going up on apartments like mad and property taxes are some of the highest in the area. Positives, the schools are decent. There are plenty of churches if you're into that. The suburbs are still nice but are disappearing. Stay out of the city if you have kids, move to a suburb or the outskirts like Oconomowoc or Pewaukee. Oh yeah and if you like bar hopping, Waukesha has a lot of pubs. Friday night live downtown is a nice venue.
