The West Bend market specifically
West Bend is the county seat and largest city in Washington County, anchoring a large faith-based continuing-care campus that serves as the main senior-living hub for the northern edge of the metro.
As the main hub for Washington County, West Bend draws families comparing options from Germantown and Cedarburg as well.
