Relocating to Milwaukee, Wisconsin: Need Help?

Hi. Can anyone help recommend some areas to live? I would be working a few miles east of Shorewood, on 190 (or W. Capitol Dr). I don't mind commuting within 30 mile radius. I need to know a few options, as my girlfriend is looking to go to culinary school and I would prefer her have a shoter commute to school, than I would for work. I would prefer to be in an area that has close shopping and entertainment, we are both in our early 30's (and need some life around), but mostly need safe areas, where she can feel free to roam. Thanks so much!!

Well, I'm not familiar with any culinary schools in the area, so that might be what chooses your area for you. But Shorewood itself is a nice area, as are points north of there - Mequon, Whitefish Bay, etc. But of course they're all pricy. The east side in general is crowded and full of students - crime is a factor although it's far from being the "hood." Wauwatosa is a nice area, as is south Milwaukee - St. Francis, South Milwaukee, Cudahy. West Allis has good areas but a lot of it is rather redneck. Avoid the near north side, near west side and near south side. Downtown is an option as well if you're up for a condo
