The New Berlin market specifically
New Berlin, between Greenfield and Muskego, is primarily single-family housing stock, and families here typically look at both the Milwaukee County suburbs to the east and the Waukesha County communities to the west.
New Berlin sits at a crossroads of comparison shopping, with families here frequently weighing Greenfield, Muskego and Waukesha side by side.
The question about money nobody asks early enough
Ask what happens if private funds run out, and whether the community holds a Medicaid waiver provider agreement. A meaningful share of communities do not participate at all, which converts a funding problem into a forced move at the worst possible moment.
