New Berlin

Located southwest of Milwaukee in the southeast part of Waukesha County, New Berlin township settlements date from the early 1830s. Mostly forest at the time, pioneers who settled here cultivated the land for agriculture and orchards. The township became a city in 1959 and most of the communities were developed and settled between the mid-1950s and 1980s.

New Berlin’s motto is “City living with a touch of Country.” To ensure you blend in with the locals, be sure to emphasize the “Ber” syllable as opposed to the “lin” part as is more common in the German pronunciation.

New Berlin boasts a wide range of housing options, from starter homes and first-time buyer neighborhoods to farms and farmettes – all the way up to high end luxury estates.
