Germantown works hard to stay true to its namesake. The shops and offices lining Main Street look like they belong in a Bavarian village. And a very active historic preservation society works to keep them that way. But even if you don't bleed red, yellow and black, there's still plenty to love about Germantown. Just a 30-minute drive to downtown Milwaukee, the town is perfect for commuters. And with 10 parks, there's plenty of open space to play - cross-country skiing and snowmobiling are especially popular as are apple, strawberry and pumpkin picking. -B.N.
