Wisconsin, the great state of
cheese. While it is mostly known for its savory cheese production, it has more than meets the eye. Wisconsin is a great place to
live for a multitude of reasons.
Cities
Wisconsin's cities are some of the
best ranked in the U.S. for walk ability, livability, and affordability. It may
not have a large central city like N.Y.C. or L.A., but being located in the
Midwest makes it a far less crowded and populated area. It's home to about 5.8
million, which doesn't seem like many when the borough of Manhattan alone holds
residence to over 1 million people.
Wisconsin has a multitude of different cities, such as Milwaukee and Madison (its capital). Madison is also
consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in the country; it is a
college town filled with different mixes of people and ideas.
Outdoors
Wisconsin is an outdoor lover’s
dream. It is full of lush forest, with 47 state parks, 15,000 lakes, 76 state
wildlife areas, and 84,000 miles of river. If this isn't enough space for
exploration, I don't know what is.
It is home to some of the country's
oldest railroad tracks, known as Elroy-Sparta state trail where you can bike or
walk it. Wisconsin is full of great areas to hike, swim, paddle, and explore.
Music fests
Wisconsin is the place to be in the
summer if you want to enjoy good music. Home to around 20 music festivals, it
is a summer must-do in Wisconsin.
Prices
Wisconsin is one of the most
affordable places to live. Its housing costs are below the national average.
There are plenty of Madison
houses for sale at an
affordable price. Housing costs have even dropped about 15% compared to the
national average.
Sports
Wisconsin is home to the Packers!
Here in Wisconsin, Sunday football is a religion, coincidentally making Sunday
also the best day to go to the supermarket during football season. There is an
array of different sports here in Wisconsin, men's basketball, women ice
hockey, and plenty more.
Waterparks
Wisconsin is known as the waterpark
capital of the world. Along with all the outdoors to explore and music fests to
enjoy, watermarks are bigger and better here in Wisconsin. Noah's ark water
park, a local and tourist favorite as it is over 70 acres and 3 miles of water
slides it is America's largest waterpark.
Cheese
Yes, you can't read an article
about moving to Wisconsin without discussing Wisconsin as home to some of the
best cheese in the world. Wisconsin is composed mostly of farmland, making it
the perfect place to produce more than three million pounds of cheese in over
600 varieties. If Wisconsin is good for one thing, it’s cheese.
Wisconsin at face may seem like
another state with an ample amount of farmland, but if you look a bit closer,
it can be one of the most exciting and enjoyable places you have ever lived.
