The crown jewel of this Milwaukee suburb is its historic downtown, complete with mom-and-pop boutiques, eateries (frozen custard, anyone?), and a thundering waterfall. A former mill town, the limestone dam stands strong as the focal point of Mill Pond Park, which also hosts outdoor concerts throughout the summer.

Kohl's is also headquartered in [Menomonee Falls](http://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8147966/type/dlg/sid/MYlife2015bestplacesliveAKSept/https://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g60082-Menomonee_Falls_Wisconsin-Vacations.html), and the retail chain has invested more than $100 million to improve its campus in the past year, opening a team-building Innovation Center and new wellness facility. Other large employers include Wells Fargo and a Harley-Davidson production plant. Homes are affordable, with a median price just over $200,000.

Menomonee Falls offers more than a dozen lush parks, and a paved, 14-mile trail winds through town. For cultural outposts, residents usually make the 30-minute drive to Milwaukee for a Brewers baseball game or a day at the Milwaukee Art Museum.*—Veronica Crews*
