City - Cudahy

Cudahy is a suburban city located seven miles down the shore from Downtown Milwaukee, adjacent to General Mitchell International Airport. The city is known as the home of the Patrick Cudahy food company, with its main facility right in the center of town. Primarily a residential community, Cudahy is filled with apartments, condos, and houses of every description, typically at very affordable rates.

Packard Avenue serves as the busiest commercial corridor in the city, lined with locally-owned restaurants and neighborhood bars within walking distance for most residents. Sheridan Park on the lakefront offers terrific opportunities to enjoy the fresh air and scenery, with the larger Grant Park and Oak Creek Parkway just south of town as well.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
