Parks, community events and highly rated schools in Sussex
Inspired by the English region of the same name, Sussex is a village northwest of Milwaukee with a growing population and small-town vibes.

Residents also enjoy well-maintained parks, community events and convenient access to Waukesha and Milwaukee.

Housing options range from midcentury styles to new builds
While Sussex has a mix of established homes dating back to the 1960s, it's probably best known for its wave of 21st-century development. “We have a small-town feel at the edge of the Milwaukee area, a beautiful park system and probably one of the best school systems in the state,” says Sussex village administrator Jeremy Smith. “We’re growing pretty consistently because of those features.” Many of the newest neighborhoods are found around the edges of the village and have open floor plans, modern finishes and larger homesites. Farmhouse-style designs and custom executive homes are common in these areas, with prices often ranging from the mid-$600,000s to $1.1 million.
Closer to the center of Sussex, you'll find more established colonials and midcentury ranch-style homes that generally range from the low $300,000s to the low $600,000s. Condos tend to sell between the low $200,000s and the high $500,000s. The median sale price in Sussex hovers around the mid-$500,000s, putting it in a similar range as Pewaukee while generally remaining lower than Lannon and Lisbon.
Colonial-style homes can be found throughout Sussex.
New developments are popping up all over Sussex.

Trails, disc golf and green spaces across the village
Sussex has more than a dozen parks across its system. “They're really well maintained,” says Becca Werginz, the Pauline Haass Public Library's technical services and communications manager. At around 75 acres, Sussex Village Park is the largest, with a splash pad in the summer and hills that draw sledders in winter. Walking paths connect to the Bugline Trail, a paved route stretching over 15 miles along a former railroad line.
The Civic Center creates an ice rink for residents to enjoy during the winter months.
