to Waukesha County gives us all the benefits of a large metropolitan
area with the flavor of suburban life Wauwatosa has the best
of everything.
You'll find easy access to interstate highways-I-94 and I-894

the premiere vacation lands of the Midwest. Interstate 43, and
U.S. Highways 18 and 45, State Highways 100 and 181 also enhance
