About South Milwaukee

South Milwaukee (about 20,000 residents) is a classic south-shore mill town on Lake Michigan, centered on the old Bucyrus-Erie plant site along Milwaukee Avenue. Grant Park — one of Milwaukee County's most beloved parks with the Seven Bridges Trail — sits on its lakefront, giving it a scenic edge most suburbs lack.
