Excellent school system, outstanding police and fire depts, easy access to two interstate highways plus moderate cost of living make Beloit an excellent choice for a place to live or visit. Wisconsin's reputation as a high tax state is more than balanced out by the services available.[read more...]

Living in Beloit - 7/31/2009

We have lived in rural Beloit for 12 years, and lived in Milwaukee before that. My perception of Beloit is that people are very friendly. There is plenty of community activity. I believe the city is improving every year we live here. The riverfront development (Rock River) is beautiful with fishing and bike paths. I have worked in every part of the city and have never felt physically threatened. I feel much safer here than I did in Milwaukee. Real estate values are excellent. No complaints at all.[read more...]

Wonderful Place, is Beloit - 7/29/2007

Unlike the other two reviews, I find Beloit to be a truly special place. Alot of good things are happening here, and with Beloit's cultural diversity and beautiful public spaces I am happy to call this place my home. We host a superb college, (Wisconsin's oldest college, "the Harvard of the midwest", Beloit College), and have a microsm unlike any other place in the nation. Accompanied with great schools and the only city in the state to have three international world headquarters in the city, I would say its a wonderful place to live.[read more...]
