About Whitefish Bay

Five miles north of downtown Milwaukee, perched on the bluffs above Lake Michigan. Whitefish Bay became Milwaukee County’s first incorporated village in 1892, where today it’s a close-knit, walkable community known for its highly rated public and private schools, tree-lined streets, and the small-business energy of the Silver Spring Drive corridor.
