Thinking of moving to Milwaukee

I’m from SLC, UT. The average cost of rent out here (for a 2bed, 1-2 bath) is upwards of $2000+. Utah has no nightlife and can be very boring if you don’t ski or snowboard.

I’ve visited Milwaukee several times. My dad grew up in Illinois, but currently lives in Milwaukee for work and his relationship. My fiance visited with me about 2 yrs ago for summer fest. He absolutely fell in love with the city.

We are talking about moving to Milwaukee sometime in the (possibly near) future due to the difference in cost of living and difference in pay from Utah.

What are some pros and cons to living in Wisconsin? What are locations to avoid versus locations to live? Any help would be nice!

Edit: I just wanna thank you all for the great suggestions/tips. From what we gathered, winters are colder (I’m used to this because I spend winters with my dad in Illinois) and the drivers are aggressive (you haven’t seen bad driving until you’ve drove in Utah). Plenty of you have also made great suggestions on areas to live vs avoid; so thank you it’s so helpful when looking at housing.

Plenty of you have also praised Milwaukee, which is no surprise. My dads girlfriend has lived there he whole life and has done nothing but praise the city. My fiancé fell in love with the city after only 1 trip and I’ve loved going every summer to visit, so I love seeing that others are just as passionate about this city/state.

There were also some of you who mentioned the love for community and how nice people are.

You guys have really made us excited to move there and we will continue to look at our options!
