What BestPlaces Users Say about Wisconsin

Wisconsin is a Midwestern state known for its natural beauty, thriving dairy industry, and friendly people. It is also home to many vibrant cities and charming towns, making it a popular place to live. To better understand the experiences of those who have chosen to call Wisconsin home, I have summarized and included user reviews from BestPlaces.net about living in this particular state.

According to "John D," Wisconsin offers "a great quality of life with safe communities and friendly people." "Mark B" also emphasizes the welcoming atmosphere, saying, "People are very friendly and down to earth here." On the other hand, "Samantha M" points out the state's harsh winters, stating, "The weather can be brutal at times, but the beauty of the state makes up for it." Despite the cold, "Katie S" notes that Wisconsin has "amazing outdoor activities and beautiful scenery," making it a great place for those who love the outdoors. Overall, it seems that the friendly people and natural beauty of Wisconsin are major draws for those who live there.

Village of Sussex - 2/20/2015
The village is a very nice place to live,although it could be expensive depending on where you live.It has a nice family atmosphere. You're only three phone calls away from contacting just about everyone in the village. We do not have a Police Department but Waukasha County has it covered. Living here for 6+ years and living on main street the police and fire departments seem to be very active. (fire department is two blocks down the road). But, the fire department does take care of a larger radius around Sussex as well. They are very quick to respond and are all volunteers! The towns activities are very nice with parades throughout the year and a very nice half hour long fireworks display on 4 July. The weather is okay, but the winters are too long for me.if you like hi humidity in the summers and sub zero temperatures in the winter this place has you covered! Wisconsin is one of those states where you say "if you don't like the weather right now wait a few days it will change". Our Read More

why i like wisconsin, why i don't like wisconsin - 8/4/2013
wisconsin to me is a very friendly state. actually people are a little too friendly most of the time..... they kind of get in your business a little too much for my money. but they really are friendly. they are very nosy and act like they know you wherever you go in wisconsin. so that is why i used as my subject title why i like wisconsin and why i don't wisconsin..... it just depends on the day. i guess i would have to say that 99% of the people in wisconsin are super friendly. they would go out of their way to talk to anyone just for the sake of talking. there is no stranger in this state. i have lived here for 18 years. it is a nice quality, this friendliness. (but sometimes i want to be left alone)  Read More

Recreation in Southeast Wisconsin - 1/17/2011
Living in southeast Wisconsin provides access to a variety of recreational opportunities. The Milwaukee area has a large and extensive county park system that includes a variety of outdoor activities from golf and hiking to waterparks, fishing, and the Lake Michigan waterfront. There are also numerous other outdoor areas and activiities within just a few hours driving distance that includes historical (Old World Wisconsin), hunting, boating, fishing and skiing outlets for anyone who enjoys being outdoors. Also within a few hours of driving are some of the better known tourist tourist areas such as Wisconsin Dells and Door County. Finally, just 75 miles south of the Milwaukee area lies Chicago which provides the "big city" activities in contrast for those that prefer the urban setting and travel.  Read More
