What I can tell you about Sparta Wisconsin

4/30/2006
We have lived here for a few years and I can tell you our 3 bdrm 1 bath house with a minimal yard cost us $80,000. Which you would think is a good deal until the property taxes kick in, which run us about $1800 a year. Total rip off. The jobs here dont pay worth anything unless you are a truck driver and even then the jobs are slim picking. The schools are okay but in the elementary level you can expect alot of bullying, kids talking sexually, ect. Better just to homeschool, which is the one positive the homeschooling laws in wisconsin are pretty good. The bitter cold winters are terrible and the humid summers are sometimes hard to bare. And just like anywhere else in the midwest if you were not born and raised here, good luck fitting in. Everyone in the midwest has an attitude problem. All we can come up with is they get upset over the cold winters and being trapped in their homes for so long and then they get overly anxious in the spring and summer so bad moods year round. TAXES in this state all around are ridiculous. But besides all that wisconsin is a beautiful state so if you do not mind all the things I have mentioned than Wisconsin is the place for you. Good Luck!
