West Allis Overview

If you?re looking for good living in the heart of America?s upper midwest in one of the nation?s largest cities, then apartments in West Allismight be for you. West Allis is the largest suburb of the city of Milwaukee, located in the county of the same name. The population of West Allis is just a bit over 60,000 people. West Allis apartments offer an easy commute to the downtown Milwaukee business district for those working there, and easy access to all the attractions and amenities the big city has to offer.

What is the history of West Allis?

The city is named for Edward Allis, whose manufacturing company rose to prominence in the Milwaukee area late 19th century. In 1901 his company became the Allis-Chalmers company which built a new plant west of the city in what was then known as the town of North Greenfield. The company soon became the largest manufacturing firm in the area, and in 1906 the town became the city of West Allis, driving the population growth that made it become the largest suburb of Milwaukee.

How is the weather in West Allis?

The city?s close proximity to the Great Lakes has a big effect on its weather, making it changeable and often harsh. The lake effect brings cold winds in the fall and winter, with lots of snow and freezing temps. They also contribute to occasionally severe thunderstorms in the warm months, but the weather in summer is generally mild and pleasant.
