Sun Prairie - 1/27/2011
Crime is very low, I seldom feel like I have to lock my car or even my house. The schools here are pretty good, and have no tolerance for bullies (so if you have any, stay away). Housing prices aren't quite as low as I'd like, but they're not too out of line either. Taxes are high, and have also recently increased. They're less if you can avoid living within city limits. It's been a very good place to raise my kids. Many "non-walmart-quality" purchases will need to be done somewhere in Madison unfortunately (5 miles to the east side & mall). And more & more businesses are leaving the east side for the west. It gets very, very cold here but summers are for the most part very nice - not too humid (by muggy east coast standards, at least) and very hot temps are unusual. I've seen much worse snow in Michigan & New York state.

Sun Prairie Taxes - 11/14/2010
If you add the property taxes on to the cost of living. Sun Prairie is a very expensive place to live. My property taxes on my 300,000 are almost 7000.00 per year. I recently moved from Colorado where my property taxes on a more expensive home were only 2400.00 per year. Water for Sun Prairie is not that much but when you add the sewage charge, my water bill is triple the cost for Colorado.
