Lake Living in Chenequa, WI

Located in the “Lake Country” portion of Waukesha County, about 30 miles west of downtown Milwaukee, one will find the exclusive Village of Chenequa, WI. It completely surrounds the 703-acre Pine Lake and includes portions of Beaver Lake and North Lake. Current Village zoning code states, “The Village of Chenequa… is intended to be devoted solely to residence purposes so as to afford to its citizens the peace and quiet and restfulness unobtainable in the City.”

Known for its tree-lined roads, the Village of Chenequa has been named a “Tree City USA” each year since 1985, and is one of the smallest communities to be included. The name “Chenequa” comes from the Potawatomi Indian word for “pine,” referring to a rare Southern Wisconsin grove of white pine. This same stand of white pine can be seen along the Eastern Shore of Pine Lake.
