A good town

My husband and I live in Eastern Wisconsin at the time but we still spend much time in the La Crosse area. I understand the comment made about property tax being high. This tax is high all over Wisconsin. But for the average middle class citizen Minnesota's and Wisconsin's resident combined taxes equal out to be about the same. If you want to see your hard earned income go to taxes, Minnesota and Wisconsin are two of the highest in the U.S.
La Crosse is an industrial town. It is also a University town that's located in Wisconsin, a state that claims the right to be the beer drinking capitol of the U.S. The university also brings an awesome draw of diversity to the community which offers a variety of 'events'and sporting activities.
Quality of life here is what you make it. The lay of the land is gorgeous with its lush green hills in summer and the Mississippi river below. You get the best of land and water. The climate is very mid-western, hot humid summers and cold winters. Housing is reasonable in comparison with other metro areas of its size in Wisconsin, and a little lower than in MN. For medical services, LaCrosse has a draw of patients from both Iowa and Minnesota! Before moving here we lived in the burbs of Minneapolis for 25 years. La Crosse has a lot to offer!
