There is a lot to think about when considering where to live or where to locate a business. Community culture, services, location, and value are all important factors. Menomonee Falls stands out in the greater Milwaukee region as a community that provides a strong combination of desirable qualities and a wide variety of business opportunities and living environments across all price points.
Neighborhoods
The variety of neighborhood types in our community can be attributed to Menomonee Falls' long history which dates to the 1840s when the community founded as a mill town along the Menomonee River. The Village's downtown business district and historic residential streets developed near the Mill Pond in the late 1800s and the first modern residential subdivisions were developed nearby starting in the 1930s.
Thousands of homes were built in Menomonee Falls in the 1950s and early 1960s (the Village annexed the Town of Menomonee in 1958) and business growth boomed along arterial streets and within industrial parks in the decades that followed. The Village's second housing boom, in the1990s and 2000s, coincided with growth in the business community including major projects from Kohl's Corporation and Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin. A combination of new builds and redevelopment projects continues to spur population growth in the Village today.
