Based on quality schools, affordable homes, access to health care, low crime, fiscal stability and green space, Germantown was chosen from a list of 2,500 cities with populations of 15,000 to 150,000.
This honor is another feather in Germantown's cap, having been named to 2007 Money Magazines "Best Places to Live," County Line Elementary School named a "Presidential Blue Ribbon School," and Tree Tops in Germantown, named best subdivision, by Milwaukee Magazine.
As a Germantown resident, I am know the neighborhoods and services. A deep and rich German heritage is found throughout the village. If you are looking for a great place for YOUR family, I'd be happy to help you find your dream home in award winning Germantown!

One of our family’s favorite festivals kicks off today: Germanfest
…..! Being a family with deep German roots, we go to get our “fix” of German food, drink, dance and music! In years gone by, our kids danced with the kids from Milwaukee German Immersion School, and sang with the German American Kinderchor.
Thursday, the Germanfest Fun Run/Walk will benefit the St. Ben’s Meal program with Usingers donating 3 pounds of meat for every runner/walker participating…Come on down and join me…you get into the Fest for free afterward!
When it comes to food, you can find many German specialties from 4 different types of brats, schnitzel, dumplings, spaetzle (homemade noodles), roasted chicken, rollbraten, sauerbraten, and THE MOST POPULAR….Spanferkel. Roasted suckling pigs make for a great dinner, and always catch the kids attention while roasting on a spit over red hot coals. Go early, as this speciality often is a sell out.
Once you finish dinner, stroll over to the Konditorei. This tent is for those with a sweet tooth…many tortes such as Bienenstichkuchen and Black Forest Torte, strudels and cakes are available.
The beer tents are busy, and you can find root beer for the non drinkers…or try something new like Jaegermeister and root beer…Yummmm if you lean toward sweet drinks…even a champagne bar can be found on the grounds.
A Trachtenschau is a fashion show of native dress from different regions. A parade on Saturday mid day is fun for young and old. The funniest event of the weekend is the Dachshund races, and the Dachshund costume contest! Another long time favorite is the live Glockenspiel.
If you are looking for history, visit the Cultural Tents, loaded with displays and travel information. There are many new attractions this year, including a evening airshow with pyrotechnics.
My best advice, go mid day and get a table under a tent. Enjoy the music and dancing. Have a meal and some beverage and work it off on the dance floor. That is where you will find me and my family on Saturday nite! My grandkids will be dancing, Abby twirling in her Dirndl, and you might even see me doing a schuhplatter!
On Sunday, you can find me at my open house in Germantown. Germantown was rated by Milwaukee Magazine as one of the top l00 cities to live, in a past survey. If you are looking for a home in a top rated community, call Pat Tasker at 262-437-5853!

Germantown was voted "Best Place to Live" by
Money Magazine in 2007. Now one of its subdivisions made the Milwaukee Magazine list of "Sweet Spots" to live in the metro area: "Tree Tops hasn’t got
many treetops, but it’s a top-of-the-line subdivision for Germantown. And, for time-pressed homeowners, it has a reputation for being well-run, right down to having its own parks and stormwater management. $350,000-$900,000."
As the site of the 2002 Metropolitan Builders Association "Parade of Homes," Tree Tops was at the end of phase one and moving on through 2 more phases. Planned by Siepmann Development,
Tree Tops has become one of the sought after areas in the northern Metro area. You know it's special as you drive in past the distinctive entry markers in the shadows of aged oaks. The subdivision includes 185 homes sites, covering 146 acres, 40 acres (27%) of which are open spaces. Condensed lot sizes, and reduced building set backs make up this conservancy subdivision. 5 miles of walking trails wind around the subdivision, past the 8 ponds and to the large private park, featuring a playground and sport court. Rigorous architectural requirements, include natural siding materials, no fences, above ground pools and uniform roofing materials.
The best part of living in Tree Tops is the social life of the subdivision. Yearly events bring neighbors together, including: Pizza Party, a
Round Robin, Egg Hunt, golf outing, and Fall Festival. Not to mention the impromptu evening gatherings at a firepit on a neighbor's patio!
Home sizes range from 2,000-6,000 square feet, prices range from $300,000-900,000. For more information on homes for sale in Tree Tops in Germantown, contact the neighborhood expert Pat Tasker. "It's not just my business, it's my neighborhood!"
