City of Oconomowoc

Welcome to the Oconomowoc area, where natural beauty and hard work have resulted in a unique community of safe streets, excellent schools, quality health care, progressive government, a prosperous economy, and an overall high quality of life. Tucked in the rolling, lake-filled countryside of northwest Waukesha County, the area includes many lakes and amenities where “Life comes naturally here.”


Oconomowoc means, “Where the waters meet.” Settled in the 1800s, the city today is a mix of small- town charm and 21st century opportunity. The city has a vibrant, historic downtown and many planned developments rising throughout the city. Helping retain and attract businesses and families are municipal services that include modern police and fire departments, low-cost municipally owned utilities, and some of the state's lowest tax rates. Existing housing offers diversity ranging from historic lakeside homes and traditional houses to modern condominiums and in-town apartments. Several nursing homes and senior housing complexes meet the housing need of the area's senior residents.

Community residents show their commitment to their neighbors and community through active participation in their local schools, centers of worship and civic groups. Respect for the environment and community pride area part of everyday life here. Whether you are an area visitor, a new family looking for a place to set down roots, or a business seeking a place to expand, come discover a promising future in the Oconomowoc area – where, “Life comes naturally here.”
