About Berlin

Berlin is a welcoming small town of about 5,500 people, set along the banks of the Fox River in central Wisconsin. It offers a relaxed, affordable pace of life surrounded by scenic farmland, with historic Victorian homes and a classic downtown district that give the community plenty of character. For work or weekend trips, Oshkosh is an easy thirty-minute drive east along Highway 21.

Families appreciate having the local elementary, middle, and high schools located together on a single campus, which makes daily routines and school activities convenient to manage. Life here is geared toward the outdoors, with easy access to boating and fishing on the river and popular recreation spots like Green Lake just a short drive south. It is a quiet, down-to-earth place that makes settling in feel straightforward.
