The City of Eau Claire is a beautiful place in West Central Wisconsin, home to over just under 70,000. It has a small-town feel with so many conveniences, attractions and services. Beautiful rivers, hiking trails, parks, restaurants, schools, colleges, entertainment, churches, stores and multiple healthcare facilities are just some of the amenities. It is a great place to raise a family, and a great place to retire, with a wonderful community feel.
If I could change anything, it would be the monopolies. Charter Spectrum is the only cable provider in the area, so the only competition is using satellite for TV and Internet. Also, Menards keeps other home-improvement franchises out. I've heard that bureaucracy can make it difficult for a business to start up in Eau Claire. But downtown is home to many quaint small businesses and performing arts. Farmers Markets abound in the summer. I love this town and would highly recommend living here.

I moved to Eau Claire in 2015 from Rockford IL. Eau Claire seemed more positive and uplifting from the environment I was coming from. Everyone seemed really happy about living here and the college kids would have so much fun during the nights downtown. Something I would change is having more programs for women with substance use problems as well as homelessness.
Eau Claire County is a beautiful county with lots of things to do. From shopping to hiking, you could never get bored!
