Living in Brookfield -the reality
Longtime lurker here, I'm single, late 30s, and With a population of 41,592, Brookfield is a smaller city. Average temperature is around 47--F, so expect cold winters. Homes are going for about $419,300 on average. Poverty rate is 2.7%, which is pretty low. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Low taxes
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
- Far from major airports
