Plenty of potential in East Allis
East Allis is one of the few neighborhoods still reflecting the area's industrial legacy. Warehouses, manufacturing centers and office buildings make up much of the neighborhood, keeping job opportunities high and property taxes low. East Allis offers a short commute to work and a short drive or walk to shopping centers, expanding parks and diverse restaurants. Though filled with older buildings, the neighborhood sees new projects and plenty of new people. "There are still a lot of vacant buildings around Burnham Street, too. So, there is plenty of business potential," says Suzanne Singh, neighborhood services specialist for the City of West Allis.

Working for the city comes with a pay bump
West Allis once boomed with growth thanks to Allis-Chalmers, a manufacturer of farm equipment, engines and heavy machinery. The factory closed in the late 1990s, and job opportunities became scarce in the city. However, jobs in the East Allis neighborhood are still plentiful, with large companies in the industrial sectors of both the northern and southern halves (some even in the old Allis-Chalmers buildings). The West Allis Department of Public Works is in the neighborhood and offers a special incentive to some employees. "If you work for the city and live in the city, you get a pay bump," says Alderman Ray Turner of District 1. "So those working for the DPW, police department and fire department make more working there than people from outside of the city would. It motivates people to work in their community."

A growing collection of Latin restaurants
Locally owned restaurants are along the neighborhood's main streets, including Kegel's Inn, a century-old German restaurant in a historic building that was a speakeasy in the 1920s. Latin cuisine is common in East Allis, with five Latino-owned establishments on Burnham Street alone. "They've added to the city's culinary diversity," says Mayor Dan Devine. The restaurants reflect the city's growing Hispanic population, which "nearly doubled from the 2010 census to the 2020 census," Devine says. "There is even more diversity in West Allis now, especially in the east side."
