Just moved here and most of the people are super nice! It’s also a decent sized town with great schools and amazing sports. I recommend living here if you aren’t a big city person. Great stores as well, has almost everything you need.
Bought a home here in 2018, moved out 6 months later (luckily). Taxes keep increasing year over year (top 10 highest tax rates in WI) for very poor services. The city administration is a compete joke and is in constant turmoil, creating division amongst the citizens of Merrill. The school system ranks low compared to state standards. Low paying local jobs make it hard for working couples to make ends meet. Avoid Merrill like the plague, move to Wausau instead.
Merrill is a very nice small town in north central Wisconsin. New things to do have been added in recent years and are still being expanded. The local movie theater has the best prices around with a cute vintage feel. Council Grounds, a state park located minutes out of town, offers beautiful scenery while getting back to nature. Many local businesses encourage citizens to buy the unique items they have to offer. Being the ‘city of parks’, the multitude of parks all invite community members to get outside and enjoy nature. The River Bend Trail winds along the beautiful Wisconsin River. The public library is one of the best in the area. The people of Merrill are nice and all look out for each other too. Merrill is a very nice place to live.
