About St. Francis

St. Francis is a quiet, close-knit suburb located right along the shores of Lake Michigan, immediately south of Milwaukee. Home to roughly 9,000 residents, it offers a peaceful residential feel while keeping you right next door to the trendy Bay View neighborhood and a short drive from downtown. Living here means having the lakefront in your backyard, with blufftop parks and paths like the Oak Leaf Trail offering great spots to bike, run, and take in the water views.
