Work Remote in the Greater Milwaukee Region

Milwaukee is a place where people show up for each other. It’s collaborative, welcoming, and grounded, a region where you’re often just one connection away from a familiar face, a recommendation, or a new opportunity. Locals sometimes call it “Small-waukee,” not because it’s small or insular, but because community runs deep here. 

Want to know more? Check out the video for Bobby's story below!

A City (and Region) That Knows How to Live

Milwaukee is innovative, vibrant, and deeply community-minded. With a strong manufacturing legacy and a growing tech scene, people here value getting things done — and doing it together. There’s a humility to Milwaukee that’s part of its charm: the city has plenty to brag about, but it’s more likely to invite you in than sell itself loudly.

If you’re working remotely and looking for a place that balances hard work with real connection, the Greater Milwaukee Region offers the best of both worlds: vibrant city life, distinct neighborhoods, and welcoming communities across seven counties — 

Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha

. Whether the city itself feels like the right fit or you’re drawn to a nearby town or suburb, there’s room here to land and belong.

Intentional Incentives to help you call the region your new home!

Incentives coming soon that will include not only a helpful cash stipend, but perks and opportunities that truly connect you to your new life and new neighbors here in the Greater Milwaukee Region.

 — but what really stands out is how newcomers are welcomed. From tech meetups and startup incubators to neighborhood associations and festivals, it’s easy to plug in, meet people, and feel at home.

After all, Detroit is in your blood, in your imagination, and in your memories. Whether you grew up here, studied here, or said ‘whatupdoe’ at your family reunion, Detroit is the kind of place you’re searching for wherever you go. Your people are here, opportunity is here, and the kind of life you’ve been dreaming about is possible–only in Detroit. You can make an impact on the world–in your career and in your community-and still kick back to enjoy your life, all courtesy of the 3-1-3. You can get a front row seat to world-class art, musical genius, world-renown architecture, and sports contenders on every corner, plus a table or a ticket at the hottest spot in town.

Choosing where you’ll invest your energy and build your future is voting with your feet. The place you choose to live benefits from your tax dollars–an investment in local quality of life; from your expertise in the local talent pool–one in demand from Detroit’s fast-growing industries and innovation ecosystem; and from your investment–as a customer to local business, a homeowner in your community, and beyond.

Today, Crawfordsville continues to amaze with its innovative roots and collaborative approach to place building. In fact, many of its amenities and programs are those usually seen in much larger communities.

In 2015, Crawfordsville became an Indiana Stellar Communities designee, a statewide program which provides resources to communities for transformational quality of place initiatives. As a designee, Crawfordsville leveraged millions of dollars to invest in--and complete--a number of very successful projects. These included a city-wide bike/pedestrian trail system linking the Wabash College campus to downtown, Pike Place an outside events venue and park, and the City's cornerstone project--Fusion 54. This multi-story facility houses a synergistic collaboration of growth entities such as the Fusion 54 Center, - an entrepreneurship support organization and coworking location, Wabash College's Center for Innovation, Crawfordsville Economic Development, and Volunteer 54.  

Another unique project currently underway is the repurposing of a historical landmark in the heart of downtown known as the Ben Hur Building. When complete it will house a boutique hotel, restaurant, and penthouse apartments.

Understanding the dynamics of the housing market, the City has taken proactive steps to affect change in this sector by working in partnership with residential developers to create the diversity of housing inventory required to attract young millennials, young professionals with children, and active seniors. As a 10GB location, Crawfordsville's fiber infrastructure can support the technology needs of remote workers and e-learners alike, and when combined with an average cost-per-square-foot of $100 and a median selling price of $149,000 for a single-family residence, makes Crawfordsville a highly desirable location. In addition to fast internet and affordable housing, Crawfordsville knows that finding primary care is a top priority for remote workers looking to move. Crawfordsville has you covered by providing one year of primary care at the Crawfordsville Chamber Health Clinic so you know you'll have access to quality care.

It's for real, and MakeMyMove helps you find the right community for you, connect with locals there, and get support to make your move a piece of cake.
