Appraiser moving to area

[julinva]

This is not really an appraisal post, but I am hoping some of my peers can help. I am a Licensed Appraiser (working on certification) in Norfolk, Virginia. My husband has a job offer from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee and we are considering a move to the area. I am wondering if any fellow appraisers can offer advice on nice neighborhoods that have good public schools (middle and high school) either in Milwaukee Co. or the surrounding area. I am wondering what we can expect to get in our price range of $400K to $600K. I have looked at homes on the internet, but it's hard to get a feel for neighborhoods etc. I thought who better to ask than fellow appraisers. Any and all input is greatly appreciated so that we can make an informed decision.

Your first mistake dear is that you should be shopping for wool underwear, snow shoes, boots, and a snow blower. That other stuff can wait.

No, a Cheese head hat, brat, & Harley Davidson, maybe.

If you draw my name in the yearly T-shirt Swap, you can just send me a cheese head hat! :icon_mrgreen:

My wife is from the greater Millwaukee area. For your price range I think you will find lots of options. She grew up in Germantown and loved it there. Very family oriented, wholesome, and yes, Calvin, a little chilly half of the year. Menomonie (sp?) Falls is nice. Share how the process works for getting certified out there when you do. I may end up trying to do that one day.
