2021 Best Places to Live in Calumet County

Sherwood

• Suburb in Wisconsin
• Rating 4.75 out of 5  4 reviews

Current Resident: The Village of Sherwood is a small bedroom community just outside of Appleton. We have access to one of the nicest state parks in Wisconsin - High Cliff State Park. The taxes are reasonable yet offer so much more than expected. In the winter roads appear to be cleared of snow twice before you get up and go to school or work. The staff are on top of maintenance throughout the village. Lots of retirees, but also a lot of families so it is a growing community. Love that we have Appleton water!

Brillion

• Town in Wisconsin
• Rating 3.2 out of 5  5 reviews

Current Resident: It is a very small community and everyone is very involved. We all support each other in everything that we do. For example, when the boys cross country team made it to state there was a lot of support not only from the school but from the whole community. We also all know each other and it is one big community.

Chilton

• Town in Wisconsin
• Rating 3.5 out of 5  6 reviews

Current Resident: It's a nice little town, very connected and people will always be there to help you. Downside is it's a very red town, if that's what you're worried about. Many times I've seen a confederate flag on someone's pick-up truck. Otherwise, it's a nice town with nice businesses.

New Holstein

• Town in Wisconsin
• Rating 4.17 out of 5  6 reviews

Current Resident: New Holstein is a tight-knit community that fits the role of the "small-town America" to a tee. This is a place where the bank teller remembers your name, the local pizza place knows who you are based on your regular order, and your neighbors truly look out for you.

But with as many advantages as a small town like New Holstein will come with, there are certainly sacrifices that have to be made. This can be a good thing, because you are thirty minutes away from anything, but also thirty minutes away from everything.

With a small school, certainly there are drawbacks like far less AP opportunities and such than a large public school may offer, but there are definite benefits as well. For one, it is far easier to stand out as an individual, rather than just another number in a classroom.

Despite wanting to pursue college in a bigger community, I must admit I would not have wanted to grow up anywhere else.

Current Resident: Stockbridge, WI is a small town with nearly 700 residents. I really enjoy Stockbridge because everybody knows who you are. Also, everyone in Stockbridge is very friendly and helpful. The school is great with it being in the top 10% of schools experiencing growth in reading and mathematics.
