What it's Like to Live in Wauwatosa, WI:

Our Epikos Church – Mayfair Road Campus is in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Our Mayfair Road Campus primarily draws from the Wauwatosa and Menomonee Falls corridor. Wauwatosa and Menomonee Falls are just two vibrant suburbs within the Greater Milwaukee area, each offering a unique blend of urban convenience and suburban charm. Wauwatosa, known for its historic neighborhoods, bustling village center, and proximity to Milwaukee's significant institutions like the Medical College of Wisconsin and the Milwaukee County Zoo, is a popular destination for families and professionals alike. It boasts a variety of shopping, dining, and recreational opportunities, including Hart Park and the Mayfair Mall. Menomonee Falls, situated northwest of Milwaukee, offers a more relaxed, small-town atmosphere while still providing access to the amenities of the metro area. With its thriving local businesses, scenic parks, and strong community focus, Menomonee Falls is ideal for those seeking a quieter lifestyle without sacrificing proximity to the urban core. Both areas are well-regarded for their excellent schools, community events, and overall quality of life, making them desirable places to live in the Greater Milwaukee region. Our Mayfair Road Campus draws from other suburbs to the west, similar to these two communities.
