The city has many spacious lots and newer homes, including luxurious contemporary houses built since the 2010s. Buyers can still find historic farmhouses and mid-1900s ranch-style homes for lower prices.

Mequon is served by the highly rated Mequon-Thiensville School District, with students attending the top-rated Homestead High School. The city has hundreds of acres of parks. Locals enjoy Virmond County Park for its access to Lake Michigan, Red Barn Park for a kayak launch into the Milwaukee River and the Ozaukee Interurban Trail for biking and jogging. Mequon Nature Preserve offers hiking and wildlife observation opportunities, while several public and private courses cater to golf enthusiasts.

The city's commercial life is concentrated in suburban strip malls near the I-43 corridor. The village of Thiensville offers a walkable downtown shopping district. Seasonal events like Pommern Tag, Winter Frolic and Taste of Mequon bring neighbors together. Residents often work at local hubs like Concordia University Wisconsin and Ascension Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital – Ozaukee, or commute to Milwaukee's city center.
