Anyone know anything about Milwaukee Neighborhoods?

I've done a lot of searches online and seen some of the houses available, but I can never tell what the neighborhood is like, so I probably need to start working with a realtor at some point.

Avoid anything from about Silver Spring(North) to Oaklahoma(South) as North South lines and anything from 1st(East) to about 60th(West). That is the Downtown area, industrial area, ghetto's, etc. There are several nice houses in there, don't get me wrong, but that seems to be about where the problems usually are.

I don't live in Milwaukee, but I used to do a lot of house work there for a contractor. If you are moving to milwaukee, look at some of the suburbs, like South Milwaukee, Oak Creek, West Allis, Thiensville, Grafton, etc...

I come from Wauwatosa and it's pretty nice in some parts

Honestly if moving to the area, you should stay our of Milwaukee County. Waukesha is much better, has lower taxes, and is all around a better place to live. But defintely don't likve in the CITY of Milwaukee... Head to a suburb.

My house in Wauwatosa is 5 blocks from 94.

Seems like everything is about 5 blocks from 94 in the milwaukee area. Wauwatosa is a good area. And if I'm not mistaken it has easy access to PF Chang's and a CheeseCake Factory.

Maybe... I don't go out to eat much

(I've been in Madison for the last three years too except for the summers)

If you are looking at I94 look into Racine too. About 30 minutes or so South of Milwaukee. Cudhay, Wauwautosa, West Allis, etc. are all pretty decent. As stated above for lower taxes, etc. stay out of Milwaukee County.
