Great place to live. Single families and duplex run all various price ranges. Ones in nice neighborhoods start at $50 K and go up from there. As for a great and knowledgable vet for your ferrets here, the doctors at West Allis Animal Hospital love ferrets and all other pets too, that is where my husband and I take our 10 ferrets and 1 dog. Can't say the dog loves the vet but the ferrets sure do. Any how, best of luck with your fiancee and I think you will just love the Milwaukee area. I sure do, and I moved here from New York City, with 5 ferrets in tow in 1998 and have no desire to return east. Nadine and furry menagerie: Ferrets (in order of entry to household): Rascal, Brandy, Dickens, Merlin, Scamperdoodles, Velvet, Benny, Frannie, Brutus and Angie and Porsha the dog.
