I've lived in Madison for my entire life (I'm currently 19 years old) and it is such an amazing place to grow up. The education and extracurriculars in the schools are top-notch, it's a beautiful town, there are many great places to workout and enjoy nature, it's very safe, and the people make up such a loving and close-knit (but not too close) community. I really can't imagine a better place for me to have grown up and I would be lucky to raise my children here one day. One thing that I'll say for people who are in their 20s or older is that there isn't a lot of night life (it's not always the most exciting place) but I believe surrounding towns have good places to go to. It's also on the train line so there's easy access to surrounding towns and NYC!
Madison is a very nice town with very nice people. Although it is pretty small, it allows for residents to form closer bonds with each other and it is very easy to make friends. The public schools provide great education and the teachers are very friendly. The local police helps to keep the area very safe and is involved with the community. I have grown up in Madison, and the community is very friendly to everyone; young children and older adults alike.
Madison has many things to offer. Madison is a college town to 3 different colleges and is very driven to improve. Over the years, Madison has worked hard to bring in new people and new businesses to keep the downtown area busy. There are many different restaurants around the town, with lots of different options of foods to eat. Another big part of Madison is it's school district. There are 3 elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school in Madison's school district. The school district is good and very supportive of their students and always ensure that their students feel safe. There are also many opportunities and activities in Madison. A very useful part of Madison is the train station, which helps make an easy commute to the city and other neighboring towns. Madison has so much to offer to all that live there and nearby and is a great community to be a part of.
