City of Beloit, WI is not a good place to live or raise families. Beloit Memorial High School placed in the bottom 50% of all schools in Wisconsin for overall test scores (math proficiency bottom 50%, and reading proficiency bottom 50%) for the 2020-21 school year. Almost 50% of homes are rental properties that are rundown and neglected by property owners. LOTS of noise pollution from LOUD car stereos, people shooting off LOUD fireworks throughout the year, loose dogs, and if you're a dog owner, the dog park is pathetic. It's never monitored; people bring aggressive dogs, dogs that are not fixed...leading to aggression. It's located in a dumpy area and has no access for handicapped people. The downtown area is kept up, which is a tiny part of Beloit, but once you venture outside of that, unkempt housing, junky yards, unshoveled sidewalks during the winter, not much for kids to do. As native Beloiters we are sad and disgusted to see how neglected many areas of Beloit has become.
The people are generally friendly and genuine, and the downtown Beloit has really transformed into a wonderful place to go. The cost of living here is exceptional, and there are well-paying jobs in the area. We love small town living and access to the natural beauty of the area. It's convenient to be relatively close to 5 commercial airports (ORD/MKE/MSN/RFD/MDW) and 4 larger/big cities (Madison, Rockford, Chicago, and Milwaukee). The higher end restaurants are fantastic, and I think it would be a challenge to find a town of this size with so many options anywhere else. I always feel safe here and walk at night without fear. There are a lot of great community events, and after living here for 17 years, I'm still meeting new people. That said, it's not perfect. Like everywhere, there are neighborhoods to avoid, and we could use more mid-level dining options, a few more stores, and a longer summer. I've lived a lot of places big and small, and we choose to live here.
I've lived in Beloit for just under two years now. Overall, it's a quiet town. There is a small college as well as a small 'downtown' area that continues to grow each month. Beloit also has an impressive farmer's market that happens every Saturday during the summer months. If you're young and single - it's probably not going to have everything you're looking for in terms of fun. However, if you have a family, it could be just the place you're looking for!
