Located on the shores of Lake Michigan, the village of Bayside is the most northeastern community of Milwaukee County. It has a population of around 4,400, and sits just 15 minutes from downtown Milwaukee, making it a good option for those who desire the atmosphere of a small community, but still enjoy easy access to the amenities and attractions of a large metropolitan center.
Roughly 21 percent of residents are aged 65 and older, and to accommodate this aging demographic, two assisted living facilities are located in Bayside, itself, with an additional 48 in surrounding communities, including Brown Deer, Glendale and Milwaukee. Assisted living facilities in Bayside, just as in all of Wisconsin, are licensed and certified by the state Department of Health Services.
