All of this, with lots of open spaces, walkways and charming amenities like a splash pool, ice rink and a farmer's market.The City of Oak Creek is in the southeastern corner of Milwaukee County. Incorporated in 1955, it has seen a mix of manufacturing, service, agriculture and even an airport.

Major employers in Oak Creek include Master Lock, Northwestern Mutual and Caterpillar Mining.It's not "just like downtown." It IS downtown.
