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.

Eau Claire County is a beautiful county with lots of things to do. From shopping to hiking, you could never get bored!
There are plenty of great things to say about Eau Claire. For instance the community is very tight knit and everyone helps each other out. There is a large Hmong community which allows for more diverse restorants and food stores. Furthermore, Eau Claire has very cold winters with a lot of snow but also has very warm summers, meaning it’s a great place for water and snow sport lovers. It is also home to some of Wisconsin’s highest ranking academic schools, offering a wide array of advanced classes.
