About Pewaukee

Set along the eastern shores of Pewaukee Lake, the Village of Pewaukee offers a classic Lake Country lifestyle about twenty miles west of downtown Milwaukee. With a population of around 8,000, the village has the feel of a cozy, walkable waterfront town, complete with a popular sandy beach and locally owned restaurants right on the water. While the larger City of Pewaukee wraps around the village, the village itself holds the area's historic downtown core and immediate lake access.

With Waukesha County Technical College right nearby and plenty of parks around, the village blends relaxed lakeside living with everyday suburban convenience.
