Ozaukee County blends lakefront beauty, small-town character, and big-city access into an easy-to-love place to call home. Commuters appreciate the short hop to Milwaukee, while weekend escapes abound along Lake Michigan and the countryside stretching toward Sheboygan and Washington County. Outdoor time comes naturally here: cycle or stroll the paved Ozaukee Interurban Trail, explore the bluffs at Lion’s Den Gorge Nature Preserve, or unwind on the shoreline at Harrington Beach State Park.
Local communities each bring something distinct. Harbor views, charter fishing, and a lively marina scene give Port Washington a coastal feel. Historic storefronts, seasonal festivals, and galleries make Cedarburg a perennial favorite for art lovers and café hoppers. Mequon and Thiensville offer leafy neighborhoods, upscale conveniences, and trail access that ties schools, parks, and downtowns together.
Families value strong academics across the county, led by the highly regarded Mequon-Thiensville School District. Youth sports, park programming, and active libraries keep calendars full, while local farms and markets bring fresh produce to the table. Dining ranges from dockside fish fries to chef-driven bistros, and year-round events—from waterfront concerts to Cedarburg’s celebrated festivals—add rhythm to the seasons.
