At just over 50 years old, New Berlin is relatively young compared to many Milwaukee suburbs, yet it maintains a strong community spirit typically found in more established towns. Home to approximately 39,000 residents, the city fosters a close-knit atmosphere where neighbors come together for seasonal celebrations and youth sporting events.

The city's well-organized Parks and Recreation Department stands as a community highlight. New Berlin's park network encompasses 845 acres of recreational areas and conservation lands, offering diverse year-round activities including soccer fields, biking trails, playgrounds, cross-country skiing paths, walking routes, and golf courses. Programs cater to all residents, from toddlers to seniors – including dance classes, aquatic activities, fitness programs, adult sports leagues, and more.

New Berlin boasts a growing industrial park that strengthens the city's tax foundation. With over 599 businesses employing 13,000 workers, the 1,872-acre industrial zone has created a robust economic base envied by most Wisconsin communities. A newly developed city center now houses retail establishments, office spaces, residential properties, and the New Berlin Public Library.

Located on the edge of picturesque Waukesha County, New Berlin covers 36.9 square miles and enjoys a strategic position between Madison and Milwaukee, with Green Bay and Chicago just a short drive away. Interstate Highway 94 runs immediately north of New Berlin, while Interstate Highway 43 passes directly through the city.
