This city is wonderful! The downtown is amazing with cute little shops, wonderful festivals, and nice people. There is always something to do, places to go, people to see. Parks are clean and nice. The river runs through the town which makes it a beautiful place to visit, take pictures, gather.

As a former resident of Cedarburg, I can attest to it as a welcoming, friendly, and safe community nestled on historic Cedar Creek. Its public schools are constantly rated top 5 in the state, and the city's festivals can't be beat. It is a wonderful place to raise a family. Close enough to Milwaukee and Lake Michigan yet distant enough to have its own folksy identity, Cedarburg is a one-of-a-kind Midwestern city that at times can feel like a "bubble," although diversity is getting incrementally better.
Cedarburg is possibly the greatest town I have ever lived in. It has everything. Conservative politics, safety, diverse artistic culture, festivals, kind residents, and an atmosphere unmatched by any other town or city in the world. I have never been happier in any place.
