Quality of Life
Southwestern Wisconsin offers scenic beauty beyond compare, with world-class fishing, hunting, and canoeing. Situated along the Mississippi River and in our Driftless Region, this area was untouched by glaciers, making the land rich and fertile. It’s perfect for farming—and for creating Wisconsin’s world-champion cheeses. Naturally, it’s become a destination for foodies and nature lovers. With a range of lifestyles from midsize cities to small towns and rural environs—and great schools—it’s the perfect place to raise a family.
