Tim and Noel Marsho, along with their three children (Josie, 17; Emmit, 16; and Millie, 13), call Wauwatosa’s Wellauer Park neighborhood home. Tim is a pediatrician at Wauwatosa’s very own Tosa Pediatrics, a practice beloved by the community it serves. Here Noel shares what drew them to Wauwatosa, their favorite spots to visit as a family, and how they chose to invest in their home.

 

Q: What brought you to Wauwatosa?

A: “We’ve lived in Tosa since 2013, when Tim joined Tosa Pediatrics. From 2004 until 2013, whether we were living in Chicago or Appleton, we always traveled here for Tosa’s 4th of July parade, followed by a picnic hosted by our family friends. Thanks to those visits, we fell in love with the community feel of Wauwatosa!”

 

Q: Tell us about your decision to invest in your current home.

A: “A few years ago, we were interested in more space and some amenities we didn’t have in our current home. We worked with Corey to see a handful of houses in Tosa. As we were looking around, we recognized how much we loved our neighborhood (and our neighbors).
Corey’s support and knowledge throughout the process were helpful. When we didn’t find a house for sale that checked all the boxes, Corey encouraged us to invest in our current home.”

 

Q:What do you love most about your neighborhood? And what do you and your family enjoy doing in (and around) Wauwatosa?

A: “We live in Wellauer Park. It’s tucked between two busy streets, but our street is quiet. Gardens are planted in the boulevards and bloom spring through fall. Colectivo on 68th, as well as Ruckus and Glee, are a short walk from our house. Our kids have grown up biking and walking to Hart Park and the Village. All of our kids love Yo Mama! For the older kids, the Village — and especially Yo Mama — is a favorite place to gather after football games.
Every December, we bundle up and walk with our wagon to pick out our Christmas tree from Leff’s. We warm up and enjoy lunch before walking (over the bridge and through the woods ) back home. During the summers, we love the Tosa Farmers’ Market.”
