An award-winning town along Lake Michigan

Bayfront Lake Rural Close-Knit Community Outdoors Beach

Resting along the shores of Lake Michigan, Bayside is an award-winning waterfront town and it’s not hard to see why. Boasting beautiful waterfront views and cottage-like rentals, Bayside is mainly residential and only spans about two miles. What Bayside lacks in land size, they make up for in community. Residents here aren’t just neighbors and acquaintances, but friends who know each other by first name. You’ll find renters bonding at Doctors Park or Schlitz Audubon Nature Center, a 185-acre habitat on Lake Michigan great for hiking and birdwatching. Residents also connect at the special events held throughout the year such as the Bayside 5K and the Village Picnic. For more entertainment options, Milwaukee is only 12 miles away, allowing renters to have quick access to major attractions such as the Harley-Davidson Museum, the Milwaukee Art Museum, and the Milwaukee County Zoo.
