Milwaukee is a cozier and more affordable option to nearby Chicago -- and its cultural and recreational amenities as top-notch. From downtown, it is possible to reach any area of the city within a half hour thanks to carefully mapped-out freeways and main thoroughfares. Five counties make up the metro area for a total population of 1.7 million (the city of Milwaukee has 602,000 residents). It's the largest city in the state and the 23rd largest nationwide.
